\(\nabla\) Transportation Scheduling Your publishing company is about to start a promotional blitz for its new book, Physics for the Liberal Arts. You have 20 salespeople stationed in Chicago and 10 in Denver. You would like to fly at least 10 into Los Angeles and at least 15 into New York. A round-trip plane flight from Chicago to LA costs \(\$ 195 ;{ }^{.37}\) from Chicago to \(\mathrm{NY}\) costs \(\$ 182 ;\) from Denver to LA costs \(\$ 395\); and from Denver to NY costs \(\$ 166\). How many salespeople should you fly from each of Chicago and Denver to each of LA and NY to spend the least amount on plane flights?
Can the value of the objective function remain unchanged in passing from one tableau to the next? Explain.
$$ \begin{aligned} \text { Minimize } & c=6 s+6 t \\ \text { subject to } & s+2 t \geq 20 \\ & 2 s+t \geq 20 \\ & s \geq 0, t \geq 0 . \end{aligned} $$
Solve the LP problems. If no optimal solution exists, indicate whether the feasible region is empty or the objective function is unbounded. Maximize and minimize \(\quad p=x+2 y\) subject to \(\begin{aligned} & x+y \geq 2 \\ & x+y \leq 10 \\ & x-y \leq 2 \\\ & x-y \geq-2 . \end{aligned}\)
$$ \begin{array}{|r|c|c|c|c|c|} \hline & \begin{array}{c} \text { Creatine } \\ (g) \end{array} & \begin{array}{c} \text { Carbohydrates } \\ (g) \end{array} & \begin{array}{c} \text { Taurine } \\ (g) \end{array} & \begin{array}{c} \text { Alpha Lipoic } \\ \text { Acid }(\mathrm{mg}) \end{array} & \begin{array}{c} \text { Cost } \\ (\$) \end{array} \\ \hline \begin{array}{r} \text { Cell-Tech }^{\infty} \\ \text { (MuscleTech) } \end{array} & 10 & 75 & 2 & 200 & 2.20 \\ \hline \begin{array}{r} \text { RiboForce } \\ \mathbf{H P}^{*} \text { (EAS) } \end{array} & 5 & 15 & 1 & 0 & 1.60 \\ \hline \begin{array}{r} \text { Creatine } \\ \text { Transport }^{*} \\ \text { (Kaizen) } \end{array} & 5 & 35 & 1 & 100 & 0.60 \\ \hline \begin{array}{r} \text { Pre-Load } \\ \text { Creatine } \\ \text { (Optimum) } \end{array} & 6 & 35 & 1 & 25 & 0.50 \\ \hline \end{array} $$ (Compare Exercise 30 in Section 4.2.) You are thinking of combining RiboForce HP, Creatine Transport, and Pre-Load Creatine to obtain a 10 -day supply that provides at least 80 grams of creatine and at least 10 grams of taurine, but no more than 600 grams of carbohydrates and 2,000 milligrams of alpha lipoic acid. How many servings of each supplement should you combine to meet your specifications for the least cost?
