I Nutrition Each serving of Gerber Mixed Cereal for Baby contains 60 calories and no vitamin C. Each serving of Gerber Mango Tropical Fruit Dessert contains 80 calories and 45 percent of the U.S. Recommended Daily Allowance (RDA) of vitamin \(\mathrm{C}\) for infants. Each serving of Gerber Apple Banana Juice contains 60 calories and 120 percent of the RDA of vitamin \(\mathrm{C}\) for infants. \(^{32}\) The cereal costs \(10 \mathrm{~d} / \mathrm{serving}\), the dessert costs \(53 \mathrm{~d} /\) serving, and the juice costs \(27 \mathrm{c} /\) serving. If you want to provide your child with at least 120 calories and at least 120 percent of the RDA of vitamin \(\mathrm{C}\), how can you do so at the least cost?
Solve the LP problems. If no optimal solution exists, indicate whether the feasible region is empty or the objective function is unbounded. Minimize \(\quad \begin{aligned} c=2 x+4 y & \\ \text { subject to } & 0.1 x+0.1 y \geq 1 \\ & x+2 y \geq 14 \\ x \geq 0, y \geq 0 & \end{aligned}\)
$$ \begin{aligned} \text { Minimize } & c=6 s+6 t \\ \text { subject to } & s+2 t \geq 20 \\ & 2 s+t \geq 20 \\ & s \geq 0, t \geq 0 . \end{aligned} $$
Each serving of Gerber Mixed Cereal for Baby contains 60 calories and no vitamin \(C\). Each serving of Gerber Mango Tropical Fruit Dessert contains 80 calories and 45 percent of the U.S. Recommended Daily Allowance (RDA) of vitamin \(\mathrm{C}\) for infants. Each serving of Gerber Apple Banana Juice contains 60 calories and 120 percent of the U.S. RDA of vitamin \(\mathrm{C}\) for infants. \(^{42}\) The cereal costs \(10 \mathrm{~d} /\) serving, the dessert costs \(53 \mathrm{~d} /\) serving, and the juice costs 27 d/serving. If you want to provide your child with at least 120 calories and at least 120 percent of the U.S. RDA of vitamin \(\mathrm{C}\), how can you do so at the least cost? What are your shadow costs for calories and vitamin \(\mathrm{C}\) ?
You are thinking of making your home more energy efficient by replacing some of the light bulbs with compact fluorescent bulbs, and insulating part or all of your exterior walls. Each compact fluorescent light bulb costs \(\$ 4\) and saves you an average of \(\$ 2\) per year in energy costs, and each square foot of wall insulation costs \(\$ 1\) and saves you an average of \(\$ 0.20\) per year in energy costs. \(^{12}\) Your home has 60 light fittings and 1,100 sq. ft. of uninsulated exterior wall. You can spend no more than \(\$ 1,200\) and would like to save as much per year in energy costs as possible. How many compact fluorescent light bulbs and how many square feet of insulation should you purchase? How much will you save in energy costs per year?
