Farmer Gonzalez must determine how many acres of corn (x1) and wheat (x2) to plant this year. An acre of wheat yields 30 bushels of wheat and requires 8 hours of labor per week. An acre of corn yields 10 bushels of corn and requires 4 hours of labor per week. All wheat can be sold at $3 a bushel, and all corn can be sold at $4 a bushel. Seven acres of land and 40 hours per week of labor are available. Government regulations require that at least 30 bushels of corn be produced during the current year.
• What can you control in this situation?
• Define de Decisions Variables.
• Use linear programming that will help Farmer Gonzalez
determine how many acres of corn and wheat to plant this year.
• Which of the following regions are feasible?
a. (x1=3, x2=1)
b. (x1=4, x2=3)
c. (x1=2, x2=-1)
d. (x1=3, x2=2)
