Solve each linear programming problem by the method of corners. $$ \begin{array}{ll} \text { Maximize } & P=4 x+2 y \\ \text { subject to } & x+y \leq 8 \\ & 2 x+y \leq 10 \\ & x \geq 0, y \geq 0 \end{array} $$

A nutritionist at the Medical Center has been asked to prepare a special diet for certain patients. She has decided that the meals should contain a minimum of \(400 \mathrm{mg}\) of calcium, \(10 \mathrm{mg}\) of iron, and \(40 \mathrm{mg}\) of vitamin \(\mathrm{C}\). She has further decided that the meals are to be prepared from foods \(\mathrm{A}\) and \(\mathrm{B}\). Each ounce of food \(\mathrm{A}\) contains \(30 \mathrm{mg}\) of calcium, \(1 \mathrm{mg}\) of iron, \(2 \mathrm{mg}\) of vitamin \(\mathrm{C}\), and \(2 \mathrm{mg}\) of cholesterol. Each ounce of food \(\mathrm{B}\) contains \(25 \mathrm{mg}\) of calcium, \(0.5 \mathrm{mg}\) of iron, \(5 \mathrm{mg}\) of vitamin \(\mathrm{C}\), and \(5 \mathrm{mg}\) of cholesterol. Find how many ounces of each type of food should be used in a meal so that the cholesterol content is minimized and the minimum requirements of calcium, iron, and vitamin \(\mathrm{C}\) are met.
AGRICULTURE-CROP PLANNING A farmer plans to plant two crops, A and B. The cost of cultivating crop \(A\) is \(\$ 40 /\) acre whereas that of crop \(\mathrm{B}\) is \(\$ 60\) acre. The farmer has a maximum of \(\$ 7400\) available for land cultivation. Each acre of crop A requires 20 labor-hours, and each acre of crop \(\mathrm{B}\) requires 25 labor-hours. The farmer has a maximum of 3300 labor-hours available. If she expects to make a profit of \(\$ 150\) /acre on crop \(\mathrm{A}\) and \(\$ 200\) /acre on crop \(\mathrm{B}\), how many acres of each crop should she plant in order to maximize her nrofit?
Determine whether the statement is true or false. If it is true, explain why it is true. If it is false, give an example to show why it is false. An optimal solution of a linear programming problem is a feasible solution, but a feasible solution of a linear programming problem need not be an optimal solution.
