Is my solution correct and did I fully answer the questions? (see attachment for my solution) Question: There are three factories on Momiss River. Each emits two types of pollutants, labeled P1  and P2, into the river. If the waste from each factory is processed, the pollution in the river can be reduced. It costs $1,500 to process a ton of factory 1 waste, and each ton processed reduces the amount of P1 by 0.10 ton and the amount of P2 by 0.45 ton. It costs $2,500 to process a ton of factory 2 waste, and each ton processed reduces the amount of P1 by 0.20 ton and the amount of P2 by 0.25 ton. It costs $3,000 to process a ton of factory 3 waste, and each ton processed reduces the amount of P1  by 0.40 ton and the amount of P2 by 0.50 ton. The state wants to reduce the amount of P1 in the river by at least 125 tons and the amount of P2 by at least 175 tons. a. Use Solver to determine how to minimize the cost of reducing pollution by the desired amounts.  Are the LP assumptions…
1. A town receives electricity generated from three forms of energy: solar, wind, tide. Consumer demand for electricity based on units of solar, wind, and tide is: Solar: 20 units, Wind: 30 units, Tide: 10 units. Internal Consumption: To convert one unit of solar requires: wind requires: tide requires: 0.4 units of solar 0.1 units of solar 0.3 units of solar 0.2 units of wind 0.3 units of wind 0.2 units of wind 0.1 units of tide 0.5 units of tide 0.1 units of tide S: Amount of solar supplied to meet the demands of the consumer and production (i.e., internal consumption). W: Amount of wind supplied to meet the demands of the consumer and production (i.e., internal consumption). T: Amount of tide supplied to meet the demands of the consumer and production (i.e., internal consumption). Write the three equations that represent the amount of each form of energy supplied to meet the demands of the consumer and production (i.e., internal consumption)
mbassy Motorcycles (EM) manufacturers two lightweight motorcycles designed for easy handling and safety. The EZ-Rider model has a new engine and a low profile that make it easy to balance. The Lady-Sport model is slightly larger, uses a more traditional engine, and is specifically designed to appeal to women riders. Embassy produces the engines for both models at its Des Moines, Iowa, plant. Each EZ-Rider engine requires 6 hours of manufacturing time and each Lady-Sport engine requires 3 hours of manufacturing time. The Des Moines plant has 2100 hours of engine manufacturing time available for the next production period. Embassy's motorcycle frame supplier can supply as many EZ-Rider frames as needed. However, the Lady-Sport frame is more complex and the supplier can only provide up to 280 Lady-Sport frames for the next production period. Final assembly and testing requires 2 hours for each EZ-Rider model and 2.5 hours for each Lady-Sport model. A maximum of 1000 hours of assembly and…
