Explanation Given: A smartphone data plan for heavy users charges $ 60 for the first 6 GB of data and then $ 20 for each additional 2 GB of data (or fraction thereof). C ( x ) is the cost (in dollars) of using x GB of data. Calculation: As it is provided that a smartphone data plan for heavy users charges $ 60 for the first 6 GB of data and then $ 20 for each additional 2 GB of data (or fraction thereof). Thus, for the first 6 GB, the value of C ( x ) will be $ 60 . But, as soon as sixth hour is completed, an additional price of $ 20 is applied. Similarly, as soon as eighth hour is completed, an additional price of $ 20 is applied again for next two hours. Also, as soon as tenth hour is completed, an additional price of $ 20 is applied again

A production manager is trying to determine how many units of two types of products to produce each day. One of these is the Standard model, while the other is the Luxurious model. The profit per unit on the Standard model is R600, while the profit per unit on the Luxurious model is R400. The Standard model requires 20 minutes of assembly time, while the Luxurious model requires 35 minutes of assembly time. The Standard model requires 10 minutes of inspection time, while the Luxurious model requires 0.25 hour of inspection time. To meet a specific order, at least 6 Luxurious models must be produced. There are 450 minutes of assembly time and 3 hours of inspection time available each day. Make use of Linear programming graphical method to determine how many units of each product that should be manufactured to maximize profits?

Dr. Maureen Becker, the head administrator at Jefferson County Regional Hospital, must determine a schedule for nurses to make sure there are enough of them on duty throughout the day. During the day, the demand for nurses varies. Maureen has broken the day into twelve 2-hour periods. The slowest time of the day encompasses the three periods from 12:00 a.m. to 6:00 a.m., which, beginning at midnight, require a minimum of 30, 20, and 40 nurses, respectively. The demand for nurses steadily increases during the next four daytime periods. Beginning with the 6:00 a.m.–8:00 a.m. period, a minimum of 50, 60, 80, and 80 nurses are required for these four periods, respectively. After 2:00 p.m. the demand for nurses decreases during the afternoon and evening hours. For the five 2-hour periods beginning at 2:00 p.m. and ending at midnight, 70, 70, 60, 50, and 50 nurses are required, respectively. A nurse reports for duty at the beginning of one of the 2-hour periods and works 8 consecutive hours…
