Describe a number of business ventures. For each exercise, a. Write the cost function, \(C\). b. Write the revenue function, \(R\). c. Determine the break-even point. Describe what this means. You invested \(\$ 30,000\) and started a business writing greeting cards. Supplies cost \(2 \notin\) per card and you are selling each card for \(50 \mathrm{e}\). (In solving this exercise, let \(x\) represent the number of cards produced and sold.)
What is a system of linear equations? Provide an example with your description.
Exercises 37-39 will help you prepare for the material covered in the first section of the next chapter. Consider the following array of numbers: $$\left[\begin{array}{rrr}1 & 2 & -1 \\ 4 & -3 & -15\end{array}\right]$$ Rewrite the array as follows: Multiply each number in the top row by \(-4\) and add this product to the corresponding number in the bottom row. Do not change the numbers in the top row.
What is a solution of a system of linear inequalities?
In Exercises \(5-14,\) 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 $$\begin{aligned}&z-4 x+2 y\\\&\left\\{\begin{array}{l}x \geq 0, y \geq 0 \\\2 x+3 y \leq 12\end{array}\right.\\\&\begin{array}{l}3 x+2 y \leq 12 \\\x+y \geq 2\end{array}\end{aligned}$$
