An objective function and a system of linear inequalities representing constraints are given. a. Graph the system of inequalities representing the constraints. b. Find the value of the objective function at each corner of the graphed region. c. Use the values in part (b) to determine the maximum value of the objective function and the values of \(x\) and \(y\) for which the maximum occurs. Objective Function Constraints $$ \begin{aligned} &z=5 x-2 y\\\ &\left\\{\begin{array}{l} {0 \leq x \leq 5} \\ {0 \leq y \leq 3} \\ {x+y \geq 2} \end{array}\right. \end{aligned} $$
Verify the identity: $$\frac{1}{\sin x \cos x}-\frac{\cos x}{\sin x}=\tan x$$
At the north campus of a performing arts school, 10% of the students are music majors. At the south campus, 90% of the students are music majors. The campuses are merged into one east campus. If 42% of the 1000 students at the east campus are music majors, how many students did each of the north and south campuses have before the merger?

Bottled water and medical supplies are to be shipped to survivors of an earthquake by plane. The bottled water weighs 20 pounds per container and medical kits weigh 10 pounds per kit. Each plane can carry no more than 80,000 pounds. If x represents the number of bottles of water to be shipped per plane and y represents the number of medical kits per plane, write an inequality that models each plane’s 80,000-pound weight restriction.
