B. Minimization Problem. Professor Garcia is on a low cholesterol diet. During lunch at the college cafeteria, he always chooses between two meals, Pasta or Tofu. The table below lists the amount of protein, carbohydrates, and vitamins each meal provides along with the amount of cholesterol he is trying to minimize. Mr. Garcia needs at least 200 grams of protein, 960 grams of carbohydrates, and 40 grams of vitamins for lunch each month. Over this time period, how many days should he have the Pasta meal, and how many days the Tofu meal so that he gets the adequate amount of protein, carbohydrates, and vitamins and at the same time minimizes his cholesterol intake? Protein Carbohydrates Vitamin C Cholesterol Pasta 8g 60g 2g 60mg Tofu 16g 40g 2g 50mg at least 200g 960g 40g Let x = The number of days Mr. Garcia eats Pasta. y = The number of days Mr. Garcia eats Tofu. B.1. Translate the above matrix into a linear programming model (LP Model). Define the objective function and the constraints (structural and non- negativity). B.2. Using DESMOS, graph the constraints and take a screenshot of the feasible region.
