a. A student earns $15 per hour for tutoring and $10 per hour as a teacher’s aide. Let
b. The student is bound by the following constraints:
• To have enough time for studies, the student can work no more than 20 hours per week.
• The tutoring center requires that each tutor spend at least three hours per week tutoring.
• The tutoring center requires that each tutor spend no more than eight hours per week tutoring.
Write a system of three inequalities that models these constraints.
c. Graph the system of inequalities in part (b). Use only the first quadrant and its boundary, because x and y are nonnegative.
d. Evaluate the objective function for total weekly earnings at each of the four vertices of the graphed region. The vertices should occur at (3, 0). (8, 0). (3, 17). and(8,12).|
e. Complete the missing portions of this statement: The student can earn the maximum amount per week by
tutoring for ________ hours per week and working as a
teacher’s aide for_________ hours per week. The maximum

- In Example 3, if the accountant earns a profit of 100 on each individual return and a profit of 175 on each business return, find the maximum profit. An accountant prepares tax returns for individuals and for small businesses. On average, each individual return requires 3 hours of her time and 1 hour of computer time. Each business return requires 4 hours of her time and 2 hours of computer time. Because of other business considerations, her time is limited to 240 hours, and the computer time is limited to 100 hours. If she earns a profit of 80 on each individual return and a profit of 150 on each business return, how many returns of each type should she prepare to maximize her profit?arrow_forwardIf during the following year it is predicted that each comedy skit will generate 30 thousand and each musical number 20 thousand, find the maximum income for the year. A television program director must schedule comedy skits and musical numbers for prime-time variety shows. Each comedy skit requires 2 hours of rehearsal time, costs 3000, and brings in 20,000 from the shows sponsors. Each musical number requires 1 hour of rehearsal time, costs 6000, and generates 12,000. If 250 hours are available for rehearsal and 600,000 is budgeted for comedy and music, how many segments of each type should be produced to maximize income? Find the maximum income.arrow_forward
