b) A manufacturer of Puma clothing makes Puma pants


and Puma jackets. The profit on a pair of Puma
pants is $2.00 and on a Puma jacket is $1.50. Both
pants and jackets require the work of sewing oper-
ators and cutters. There are 60 minutes of sewing
operator time and 48 minutes of cutter time avail-
able. It takes 8 minutes to sew one pair of Puma
pants and 4 minutes to sew one Puma jacket. Cut-
ters take 4 minutes on pants and 8 minutes on a
jacket. Find the maximum profit and the amount
of pants and jackets to maximize the profit.
i) Let x = P uma pants and y = P uma jackets. Write
four inequalities to represent the situation.
ii) Write an equation for the anticipated profit.
iii) Graph the constraints.

proximately normal with a standard deviation of
0.81, what is the probability that a randomly se-
lected admission charge is
i less than 3.50?
ii between 4.30 and 5.10?
c) Of the members of a bowling league, 10 % are wid-
owed. If 10 bowling league members are selected at

Q3 a) Suppose the array
 
4 3 3
2 1 0
4 4 2
represents the orders placed by three individuals at
a Nandos outlet. The first-person orders 4 burgers,
3 pet drinks, and 3 fries; the second orders 2 burgers
and 1 pet drink, and the third orders 4 burgers, 4
pet drinks, and 2 fries, burgers cost $2 each, pet
drinks $1 each and fries $1.50 each.

i) Show that the amounts owed by these persons may


be represented as a function y = f (x), where f(x)
is equal to the array given above times a certain
vector.
ii) Compute the amounts owed in this case by perform-
ing the appropriate multiplication.
iii) Change the matrix for the case in which the second
person orders an additional pet drink and 2 fries,
and recompute the costs.

b) A vessel contains liquid which flows out from from


a hole at a point O in the base of the vessel. At
time t, in minutes, the height of the liquid surface
above O is y and the rate at which y is decreasing
is inversely proportional to y 2 . Write down a dif-
dy
ferential equation which expresses dx in terms of y.
Given that y = 25 when t = 0 and that y = 16 when
t = 30, find the value of t when y = 0.
