1.        Graphically solve the following:
            Maximize , subject to:
 
2.        Solve the given linear programming problem graphically:
            Nutrition:  A dietitian is to prepare two foods to meet certain requirements.  Each pound of Food Icontains 100 units of vitamin C, 40 units of vitamin D, and 10 units of vitamin E and costs 20 cents.  Each pound of Food II contains 10 units of vitamin C, 80 units of vitamin D, and 5 units of vitamin E and costs 15 cents.  The mixture of the two foods is to contain at least 260 units of vitamin C, at least 320 units of vitamin D, and at least 50 units of vitamin E.  How many pounds of each type of food should be used to minimize the cost?
 
3.        Solve the given linear programming problem graphically:

5.        Solve the given linear programming problem graphically:
 
            Advertising:  An advertising agency has developed radio newspaper, and television ads for a particular business.  Each radio ad costs $200, each newspaper ad costs $100, and each television ad costs $500 to run.   The business does not want the television ad to run more than 20 times, and the sum of the numbers of times the radio and newspaper ads can be run is to be no more than 110.             The agency estimates that each airing of the radio ad will reach 1000 people, each printing of the newspaper ad will reach 800 people, and each airing of the television ad will reach 1500 people.  If        the total amount to be spent on ads is not to exceed $15,000, how many times should each type of ad be run so that the total number of people reached is a maximum?
 
6.  Solve the following linear programming problem graphically:
            Maximize          Subject to:

8.        Solve the following linear programming problem graphically:
 
            The InfoAge Communication Store stocks fax machines, computers, and portable CD players.  Space restrictions dictate that it stock no more than a total of 100 of these three machines.  Past sales patterns indicate that it should stock an equal number of fax machines and computers and at least 20 CD players.  If each fax machine sells for $500, each computer for $1800, and each CD player for $1000, how many of each should be stocked and sold for maximum revenues?
