(a)(part of #23 Pg 241) (3 pts)
Using arrows attached to each of the 5 lines you graph, show the
solution set for each of the 5 inequalities of the system in
the box below ; all graphs must be drawn on the same set
of axes (as at the right), without using a graphing calculator. |
|
|
|
(b)(2 pts) On the same graph (as at the right) and
again for the system named in the box below, CLEARLY
shade in the solution set for the entire system,
using the side of a pencil or similar instrument: do
not hide your answer to [1a]. |
|
|
| [2] |
|
(a)(#23 Pg 241, cont'd) (3 pts) Write the coordinates of
all 5 corner points of the solution set on your graph in
[1b] above. |
|
(b)(1 pt) State the value of the objective function
z = 20x + 30y
at each of the 5 corners in [2a] above, using the table below, |
| (c)(1 pt) Name the corner point at which z has its biggest value. |

(Pg 270 #15) Translate the problem in the box below into a system
of constraints (i.e., inequalities) and an objective function.
Define all variables clearly in English :
recall that "Let x = regular cola" was not a clear definition on test 3.
DO NOT SOLVE the translated problem; just "set it up". |
Jon includes 3 foods on Garfield's menu: peas, bread, and steak.
These foods contain nutrients (oops!) as follows : |

We do this 6 times a day, right Jon?? |

Garfield must consume no more than 1000 calories and no more than 35 grams of fat.
Determine the number of ounces of each food that Garfield
should eat to maximize the amount of protein eaten. |

(parts of #5 Pg 269, #17 and #21 Pg 325) For the linear programming problem in the box
(at the right), do as follows :
For each of the 6 lines of the problem in the box, write either
NON-STANDARD or STANDARD, depending upon whether or not one of
the four conditions for a standard problem are violated. These
4 conditions appear above problem [7] on this test. |

(rest of simplified #21 Pg 289) Use THE SPECIFIC STEPS
OF SIMPLEX METHOD OUTLINED IN OUR CLASS HANDOUTS to solve problem [5] (in box at right).
WITH CORRECT WORK, you will encounter one pivot and a few
fractions (all with denominator 3) : the original problem needed 2 pivots. See [C], [E], & [F] at top of test ;
clearly write all row operations BETWEEN the affected
matrices, using the name format described below. |
|
Row operation names must be either |
rn + k rm = Rn |
or |
k rn = Rn , |
where Rn is the name of the (new) row being built,
and rn or rm are the name(s) of rows in
the (old) existing matrix. For example, if m=1, n=2, and k=4,
we write : r2 + 4 r1 =
R2 . Each step of your work in problems [6] and [8]
should appear as shown below, as it did earlier in
Gauss/Jordan.

| for use with [7]-[9] below |
These criteria must be met by standard maximizing problems
C1. The objective function is to be maximized
C2. All non-objective variables must be 0
C3. All inequalities must be of the type (as in [5] above)
C4. All right hand constants must be 0 |
|
| Problem in box at left is #17 Pg 325 |
|
| [7] |
[a](1 pt) Convert problem [7] (above box) into a problem satisfying C1, C2, and C3 (see above).
[b](2 pts) Write your answer to [7a] above as a set of equations with slack variables s1 and s2
[c](2 pts) Write the simplex tableau of your converted problem in [7b] above. |
| [9] |
(4 pts) You will encounter 3 simplex tableaus in [8] above, not
counting intermediate matrices.
The basic solution for the 1st tableau (in [7c]) is is:
x1 = x2 = 0, s1 = 20,
s2 = -36, z = w = 0.
Name the values of each of these variables (here or in blue book) for the 2nd and
3rd tableaus : see below. |
|
|
|
2nd tableau |
x1 = 
x2 = 
s1 = 
s2 = 
z = 
w =  |
|
|
|
3rd tableau |
x1 = 
x2 = 
s1 = 
s2 = 
z = 
w =  |
