If \(x=3, y=2,\) and \(z=-3,\) does the ordered triple \((x, y, z)\) satisfy the equation \(2 x-y+4 z=-8 ?\)
Use the two steps for solving a linear programming problem, given in the box on page \(888,\) to solve the problems. In 1978 , a ruling by the Civil Aeronautics Board allowed Federal Express to purchase larger aircraft. Federal Express's options included 20 Boeing 727 s that United Airlines was retiring and/or the French-built Dassault Fanjet Falcon \(20 .\) To aid in their decision, executives at Federal Express analyzed the following data: $$\begin{array}{ll} {} & {\text { Boeing } 727 \quad \text { Falcon } 20} \\ {\text { Direct Operating cost }} & {\$ 1400 \text { per hour } \$ 500 \text { per hour }} \\ {\text { Payload }} & {42,000 \text { pounds } \quad 6000 \text { pounds }} \end{array}$$ Federal Express was faced with the following constraints: \(\cdot\) Hourly operating cost was limited to 35,000. \(\cdot\) Total payload had to be at least 672,000 pounds. \(\cdot\) Only twenty 727 s were available. Given the constraints, how many of each kind of aircraft should Federal Express have purchased to maximize the number of aircraft?
Exercises \(41-43\) will help you prepare for the material covered in the first section of the next chapter. Solve the system: $$ \left\\{\begin{aligned} w-x+2 y-2 z &=-1 \\ x-\frac{1}{3} y+z &=\frac{8}{3} \\ y-z &=1 \\ z &=3 \end{aligned}\right. $$ Express the solution set in the form {(w, x, y, z)\\} . What makes it fairly easy to find the solution?
Use the two steps for solving a linear programming problem, given in the box on page \(888,\) to solve the problems. A theater is presenting a program for students and their parents on drinking and driving. The proceeds will be donated to a local alcohol information center. Admission is 2.00 for parents and 1.00 for students. However, the situation has two constraints: The theater can hold no more than 150 people and every two parents must bring at least one student. How many parents and students should attend to raise the maximum amount of money?
\(g(x)=\frac{x-6}{x^{2}-36}\) (Section 3.5, Example 1)
