Linear Programming: Applications of Inequalities

The document provides 5 word problems involving linear inequalities and their graphical representations. Each problem describes conditions that must be satisfied and asks the reader to write the corresponding inequalities and/or determine if a given scenario satisfies all conditions. The problems cover topics like water supply amounts from different sources, fundraising goals for student clubs, faculty requirements for a summer program, and graphing systems of inequalities.

LINEAR

PROGRAMMING
APPLICATIONS OF
INEQUALITIES
WRITE AN
INEQUALITY FOR
EACH OF THE
CONDITIONS GIVEN.
THEN GRAPH THE
INEQUALITIES:
1. MWSS must supply at least 8 million
gallons of water per day (mgd) to Quezon
City. The water will come from the local
reservoir or from a pipeline to a water
supply located in the mountains. The local
reservoir has a local yield of 4 mgd, which
may not be exceeded. The pipeline can
supply no more than 8 mgd. However, in
order to use the pipeline, the company
must agree to use a minimum of 6 mgd.
What are the possible amounts from each
source that will satisfy these conditions?
2. The Math Club decides to raise
money by selling pencils. They order
300 blue and 400 red pencils. They
must sell 100 pencils to break even.
Each of the twenty students agrees to
sell at least 10 pencils. If the club sells
200 blue pencils and 300 red pencils,
have they satisfied all of the
conditions? If they sell the pencils at
Php10 and Php 20 for blue and red
respectively, what is their maximum
profit?
3. A summer program requires a
minimum of 20 faculty members
compose of teachers and assistants. At
least 12 teachers are needed to run the
program. For a proper teacher-
assistant-ratio, the number of assistants
must be no more than twice the number
of teachers, but there can be no more
than 50 faculty members altogether. Can
the school hire 12 teachers and 5
assistants?
4. The T.H.E. Club will sell rolls of
wrapping paper and ribbon as a
fundraiser. They can order up to 300
items, as long as they spend less than
Php 600. They also must buy at least
as many rolls of wrapping paper as
rolls of ribbon. Each roll of wrapping
paper costs Php 2 and each roll of
ribbon costs Php 3. If the club buys
150 rolls of wrapping paper and 100
rolls of ribbon, will all the conditions
be satisfied?
5. Graph each system of
inequalities and give the
coordinates of each corner point.
a. x – y ≤ 1
x + 2y > 1
y< 1

b. x > 0
2y + x ≤ 6
x + 2 ≤ 2y
