- Maximize the function fx,y=7x+5y in the region determined by the constraints of Problem 34.arrow_forwardYour company manufactures automobile alternators, and production is partially automated through the use of robots. To meet production deadlines, your company calculates that the numbers of laborers and robots must satisfy the constraint xy = 10,000 where x is the number of laborers and y is the number of robots. Your company currently uses 200 robots and is increasing robot deployment at a rate of 16 per month. How fast is it laying off laborers? _________ Laborers Per Montharrow_forwardOptimize the function f(x,y) = 4x3 + y2 subject to the constraint 2x2 + y2 =1 using the method of Lagrange Multipliers.arrow_forward
- 1. Given the objective function and constraint equation, use the Method of Lagrange Multipliers to obtain an optimal solution of the following: y= 20A + 101.5V phi= A(230-47.7/V)-5556 = 0 2. If energy requirement increases by 1 % to 2.02 x 108 J use the Lagrange multiplier to estimate the change in the first cost.arrow_forwardUse Lagrange multipliers to find the maximum and minimum values of the function subject to the given constraint: f(x,y, z) = x^4 + y^4 + z^4; subject to the constraint x^2 + y^2 + z^2 = 1. How do you find all possibilities?arrow_forward34) Maximize Z = 3x + 4y subject to the constraints: × + y <= 4, ×>=0, y =0. Find the maximum value of 2?arrow_forward

When solving the system corresponding to this problem, the following relationship between the variables is obtained:arrow_forward
- Maximize the function ƒ(x, y, z) = x2 + 2y - z2 subject to the constraints 2x - y = 0 and y + z = 0.arrow_forwardOver what range can the coefficient of x2 vary before the current solution is no longer optimal? Compute the dual value for the first constraint.arrow_forwardYou manage an ice cream factory that makes two flavors: Creamy Vanilla and Continental Mocha. Into each quart of Creamy Vanilla go 4 eggs and 2 cups of cream. Into each quart of Continental Mocha go 4 eggs and 1 cup of cream. You have in stock 2000 eggs and 800 cups of cream. Draw the feasible region showing the number of quarts of vanilla and number of quarts of mocha that can be produced. (Place Creamy Vanilla on the x-axis and Continental Mocha on the y-axis.) Find the corner points of the region. (Order your answers from smallest to largest x, then from smallest to largest y. If an answer does not exist, enter DNE.)
