The Beginnings
When dealing with word problems, we have to do a bit more work.We need to assign variables to the problem and decide what thefunction is that must be optimized before we can do all the work wedid in earlier examples. It is often easiest to create a table to organizethe problem in order to construct the inequalities.

Setting Up Word Problems
ExampleSuppose we have two factories, A and B. At factory A, a productneeds to be worked on for 3 hours in department 1 and 2 hours indepartment 2 and we have 120 labor hours available. At factory B, thesame product is worked on for 4 hours in department 1 and 6 hours indepartment 2 and there are 260 hours available for labor. The profit is$5 per unit from department 1 and $6 per unit from department 2.Write the following:
a. Let x be the units in department 1 and y be the units in department2. Write the inequalities that x and y must satisfy in order to makesure we stay within the hours constraints.
b. Express any other constraints.
c. Find the object function.

Setting Up Word Problems
We will set up a table to organize the information.

Setting Up Word Problems
Department 1 Department 2 HoursA 3 2 120B 4 6 260Profit 5 6
From this, we get the constraints and object function. MaximizeP = 5x + 6y subject to the constraints
3x + 2y ≤ 1204x + 6y ≤ 260x ≥ 0, y ≥ 0
At this point the problem is at the point of the numerical examples wejust completed.

Baseball Equipment Example
ExampleA company makes baseballs and baseball bats. Each ball requires 2hours to make it and 2 hours of testing. Each bat requires 3 hours tomake it and 1 hour of testing. Each day there are 42 labor hoursavailable for making products and 26 hours available for testing. Howmany of each type should the company produce daily to maximize itsdaily output?
![Page 9: Chapter 3 Applications to Linear Functions The Word Problems](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022012014/61595922b435a26cb33b6af7/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
The Solution
Assign x as the number of baseballs and y as the number of bats. Wewant to maximize our output, which is how many total items there areto be produced. A table will help with the derivation of theinequalities.
Make TestBallsBats
When we set up the table to this point, we can fill in the quantities weare given in the statement of the problem.

The Solution
Now, we need to figure out where the limits on the differentconstraints - do they go with the balls and bats or with the testing andmaking of the products? The limits are on the time for the making andtesting, so we would add another row for these limits.

Bicycle Example
ExampleA small manufacturing plant produces two kinds of bicycles, a3-speed and a 10-speed, in two factories. Factory A produces 163-speeds and 20 10-speeds a day. Factory B produces 12 3-speeds and20 10-speeds a day. An order is received for 96 3-speeds and 14010-speeds. It costs $1000 per day to operate factory A and $800 perday to operate factory B. How many days should the manufactureroperate each factory to fill the order with the minimum cost?

Truck Transport Example
ExampleA truck traveling from New York to Baltimore is to be loaded withtwo types of cargo. Each crate of cargo A is 4 ft3 in volume, weighs100 lbs and earns $13 for the driver. Each crate of cargo B is 3 ft3 involume, weighs 200 lbs and earns $9 for the driver. The truck cancarry no more than 300 ft3 of crates and no more than 10, 000 lbs.The number of crates of cargo B must be less than or equal to twicethe number of crates of cargo A.

Pottery Example
ExampleA potter is making cups and plates. It takes her 6 minutes to make acup and 3 minutes to make a plate. Each cup uses 3/4 lb. of clay andeach plate uses one lb. of clay. She has 20 hours available for makingthe cups and plates and has 250 lbs. of clay on hand. She makes aprofit of $2 on each cup and $1.50 on each plate. How many cups andhow many plates should she make in order to maximize her profit?
Note that time is given in hours and minutes, but we need to pick oneto make it consistent. In order to avoid more fractions, we will useminutes.

A Non-Table Example
ExampleA calculator company produces a scientific calculator and a graphingcalculator. Long-term projections indicate an expected demand of atleast 100 scientific and 80 graphing calculators each day. Because oflimitations on production capacity, no more than 200 scientific and170 graphing calculators can be made daily. To satisfy a shippingcontract, a total of at least 200 calculators much be shipped each day.If each scientific calculator sold results in a $2 loss, but each graphingcalculator produces a $5 profit, how many of each type should bemade daily to maximize net profits?

Solution
An example like this doesn’t lend itself to a table to organize theinformation.
We can begin with the assignment of variables as before, with x beingthe number of scientific calculators and y being the number ofgraphing calculators.

Points on an Exam
ExampleA student is taking an exam consisting of 10 essay questions and 50short answer questions. He has 90 minutes to complete the exam andknows he cannot possibly answer all questions. The essay questionsare worth 20 points and the short answer questions are worth 5 points.An essay question takes 10 minutes to answer and a short answerquestion takes 2 minutes. The student must do at least 3 essayquestions and at least 10 short answer questions. Find how manycorrect of each type will maximize the exam score.

Law Firm Example
ExampleThe Sue All Law Firm handles two types of lawsuits: medicalmalpractice suits against unscrupulous heart surgeons for performingunnecessary surgery, and suits against hard-working math professorsfor failing students who do not deserve to pass. Math professorlawsuits each require 6 person-months of preparation and the hiring of5 expert witnesses, whereas medical lawsuits each require 10person-months of preparation and the hiring of 3 expert witnesses.The firm has a total of 30 person-months to work with and feels that itcannot afford to hire more than 15 expert witnesses. It makes anaverage profit of $1 million per math professor sued and $5 millionper heart surgeon sued. How many of each type of lawsuit should itinitiate in order to maximize its expected profits?
