h The graph shown in question demonstrates the possible combinations of televisions and refrigerators that would fit into an 18 wheeler. The maximum number of refrigerators (x) that would fit into the space is 100. The maximum number of televisions (y) that would fit into the space is 300. For each refrigerator that is put into the space, three TVs cannot fit. The slope of the line is -3. The y-intercept for the line is 330. Therefore, the equation for the line initially appears to be is y = -3x + 330. However, there is nothing suggesting that the truck must be full. Therefore, the line represents a linear inequality, in that the total number of televisions that can be put into the space if not determined by the number of refrigerators already in the space, simply maximized by that term. Moreover, the graph is a solid line, rather than a dashed line, because the total number can include the numbers in the equation, but no numbers outside of that range. In order to determine whether the truck can hold a certain combination of refrigerators and televisions, those numbers are used as a test point to determine if that point falls to the left and underneath the equation for the line. If the point falls within this area, which would be shaded in the inequality, then the combination works. If the point is outside of that area, then the combination does not work. Using such a small graph, it can be difficult to determine, visually, whether the point is inside or outside of the
The diagram below shows the feasible region of the intersection of two lines. This means that any point within the feasible region satisfies all constraints that we established before graphing. Feasible regions make it easier for us to determine the maximum profit and now we know all the possible combinations it’s important to know what point on the graph is going to be the most profitable.
3. Assume that the selling prices, volumes, and material costs for the 1991 model year will not change for fuel tanks and doors produced by the ACF of Bridgeton Industries. Assume also that if manifolds are produced, their selling prices, volume, and material costs will not change either.
Reflecting on the simulation one of the things that should have changed would have been changing the interval of the trucks so more of the product could have been transported from the
There are more than 253 Million cars and trucks in the U.S at this moment. That sounds like a lot but really it isn’t that many. For every 1.3 cars or trucks there is only one person in the United States. With this many cars and trucks in the U.S. there is bound to be some controversy about which one is better. Many people may prefer trucks over cars and in vice versa. They both have their advantages and disadvantages. While trucks are better at hauling or towing things, cars have better gas mileage and can hold more people.
Freight cost will reduce by Truck load and by using maximize the cube and also less than truck load shipment will reduce.
The lines would start by going up until it gets to 12 then would begin to bounce around from increase to decrease.
o The next day, the Burbank Buy More decides they will have a television sale so they change their order to include at least 200 TVs. What is the maximum number of refrigerators which could also be delivered in the same truck? Describe the restrictions this would add to the original graph.
Alistair Wu has requested that I look at what the lowest shipping schedule and cost can be based on data that he has provided. He wants to know what the lowest possible cost of shipping will can be. Mr. Wu is also considering increasing production at the Shanghai factory from 1,300 to 2,800 units, and wants to ensure that this growth will be an affordable choice. The first chart that was given lists the factory capacity and what each warehouse demand is. The second chart lists the price of shipping from each factory to each warehouse. The chart looks at the demand in the warehouses as well as the cost to
When graphing linear inequalities and they are greater than or less than you will use a dashed line. When the inequality is greater than or equal to or less than or equal to you will then use a solid line, which indicates that the points on the line are part of the solution set (Slavin, 2001). In this paper I have shown you a linear equation and broke down each step in solving the
One of the key issues faced by McGraw is that there is a large gap between his projections for next year, and what the manager’s are promising him . His goal is to obtain a 15% increase in the operating income from his division (OM, LR and NP). The managers are projecting a decrease of 5.2% from the current year. In absolute terms there is a gap of $27 MM in the projected divisions operating income.
* Loads were picked up from location A and delivered to one of 5 warehouses, placed on another truck with optimized route for location B (software driven route optimization)
15) In an unbalanced transportation problem where total supply exceeds total demand, the supply constraints will typically have "≥" inequalities.
Rick and Carol’s answers were both incorrect. Ricks was incorrect because when he solved for x, he forgot to change the sign to less than or equal to on the negative variable. Another mistake that Rick made was when he graphed the number on the number line. He connected the lines, but they should have pointed different directions. Carol was incorrect because she said the problem was a “no solution.” Once you solved for the absolute value by itself, the inequality
The vehicle code handbook states that any modification done to a vehicle to alter it from its original state violates the law. That single sentence has created more problems for custom vehicle owners than can be imagined. Yet, at the same time, it has generated massive amounts of money for the state of California. Modifying one’s vehicle sets it apart from others and makes a statement about the owner’s individuality. Over the past decade, hacking up a vehicle, putting a trick paint job on it, and developing an “out-of-control” sound system has evolved into a sport, not just a hobby. As with everything, though, there is always someone or something to try and put a stop
SUV’s have become the center of a large controversy in the last couple of years. Many studies have been conducted on the relation to the economy and the popularity of the SUV. The sport utility vehicle not only affects the economy with its gas-guzzling capabilities during a time of war, but with the safety questions that have continued to arise.
