food producer uses two processing plants, P1? and P2?, which operate seven days a week. After processing, beef is araded into high-, medium- and low-quality foodstuffs. High-quality beef is soid to butchers, medium-quality beef is used in supermarket ready meals and the low quality beef is used in dog food. The producer has contracted to provide 120kg of high-, 80kg of medium-and 240kg of low-quality beef each week. It costs $4000 per day to run plant P1? and $3200 per day to run plant P2?. Each day P1? processes 60kg of high-quality beef, 20kg of medium-quality beef and 40kg of low-quality beef. The corresponding quantities for P2? are 20kg,20kg and 120kg, respectively. a) What are the constraints to satisfy (apart from having values for days between 0 and 7)? Constraint 1: Constraint 2: Constraint 3: b) What are the vertices of the solution set (i.e, the intersection points)? (Sort your answers from the smallest value for P1 to the largest) P1?=x,P2?=xP1?=x,P2?=xP1?=xP1?=P2?=x,P2?=x?
