Wheat requires 2 gallons of pesticide for every acre planted and barley requires just 1 gallon per acre.Problem: What is the maximum profit he can make?Assumptions:let x = the number of acres of wheatlet y = the number of acres of barleyWhich of the following is a valid constraint for this problem?Question 2Select one:a.y <= 10 - 2xb.x <= 0c.x <= 10 - xd.y <= 20 - 2x
Question
Consider: A farmer can plant up to 20 acres of land with wheat and barley. He can earn 5,000 for every acre he plants with barley. His use of a necessary pesticide is limited by federal regulations to 10 gallons for his entire 20 acres. Wheat requires 2 gallons of pesticide for every acre planted and barley requires just 1 gallon per acre.Problem: What is the maximum profit he can make?Assumptions:let x = the number of acres of wheatlet y = the number of acres of barleyWhich of the following is a valid constraint for this problem?Question 2Select one:a.y <= 10 - 2xb.x <= 0c.x <= 10 - xd.y <= 20 - 2x
Solution
The valid constraint for this problem is c. x <= 10 - y. This is because the farmer can use up to 10 gallons of pesticide, and if y represents the number of acres of barley (which requires 1 gallon per acre), then the number of acres of wheat (which requires 2 gallons per acre) must be less than or equal to 10 minus the number of acres of barley.
