A cereal manufacturer makes two different kinds of cereal, Senior Citizen's Feast and Kids Go. Each pound of Senior Citizen's Feast requires 0.6 lb of wheat and 0.2 lb of vitamin-enriched syrup, and each pound of Kids Go requires 0.4 lb of wheat, 0.2 lb of sugar, and 0.2 lb of vitamin-enriched syrup. Suppliers can deliver at most 2800 lb of wheat, at most 800 lb of sugar, and at least 1000 lb of the vitamin-enriched syrup. (a) Write the inequalities that describe how many pounds of each type of cereal can be made. (Let x represent the number of pounds of Senior Citizen's Feast, and let y represent the number of pounds of Kids Go.)               wheat constraint       vitamin-enriched syrup constraint       sugar constraint x ≥ 0 pounds of Senior Citizen's Feast constraint y ≥ 0 pounds of Kids Go constraint (b) Graph the region determined by these constraint inequalities. The x y-coordinate plane is given. There are 3 lines and a region on the graph. The first line enters the window in the second quadrant, goes down and right, crosses the y-axis at y = 7000, passes through the point (2000, 4000) crossing the third line, passes through the point (4000, 1000) crossing the second line, crosses the x-axis at approximately x = 4670, and exits the window in the fourth quadrant.

Question

A cereal manufacturer makes two different kinds of cereal, Senior Citizen's Feast and Kids Go. Each pound of Senior Citizen's Feast requires 0.6 lb of wheat and 0.2 lb of vitamin-enriched syrup, and each pound of Kids Go requires 0.4 lb of wheat, 0.2 lb of sugar, and 0.2 lb of vitamin-enriched syrup. Suppliers can deliver at most 2800 lb of wheat, at most 800 lb of sugar, and at least 1000 lb of the vitamin-enriched syrup.

(a) Write the inequalities that describe how many pounds of each type of cereal can be made. (Let x represent the number of pounds of Senior Citizen's Feast, and let y represent the number of pounds of Kids Go.)
 
 
 
 
     
wheat constraint
 
 
 
vitamin-enriched syrup constraint
 
 
 
sugar constraint
x ≥ 0 pounds of Senior Citizen's Feast constraint
y ≥ 0 pounds of Kids Go constraint


(b) Graph the region determined by these constraint inequalities.

The x y-coordinate plane is given. There are 3 lines and a region on the graph.
  • The first line enters the window in the second quadrant, goes down and right, crosses the y-axis at y = 7000, passes through the point (2000, 4000) crossing the third line, passes through the point (4000, 1000) crossing the second line, crosses the x-axis at approximately x = 4670, and exits the window in the fourth quadrant.
