To find the linear function that represents this situation, we need to determine the slope of the line using the two given data points.

Let:
- x_1 = 2350 (market price of US$2,350)
- y_1 = 6000 (number of units produced when market price is US$2,350)
- x_2 = 1750 (market price of US$1,750)
- y_2 = 4200 (number of units produced when market price is US$1,750)

The slope of the line can be calculated as:
m = \dfrac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}

Substitute the given values into the formula:
m = \dfrac{4200 - 6000}{1750 - 2350} = \dfrac{-1800}{-600} = 3

Now that we have the slope, we can use the point-slope form of a linear equation to write the equation of the line:
y - y_1 = m(x - x_1)

Substitute one of the points and the slope into the equation:
y - 6000 = 3(x - 2350)
y - 6000 = 3x - 7050
y = 3x - 1050

Therefore, the linear function that represents this situation is y =3x-1050

A construction company is working on two projects: house construction and building construction. Each house requires 4 weeks of work and produces a profit of $50,000. Each building requires 8 weeks of work and produces a profit of $100,000. The company has a total of 24 work weeks available. Furthermore, it is known that at least 2 houses and at least 1 building must be built to meet the demand. The company wants to maximize its profits and needs to determine how many houses and buildings it should build to meet demand and maximize profits, given time and demand constraints.

Exercise 1 An ejidal association wishes to determine the distribution for the three different crops that it can plant for the next season on its available 900 hectares. Information on the total available and how many resources are required for each hectare of cultivation is shown in the following tables: Total available resource Water 15,000 m3 Fertilizer 5,000 kg Labor 125 day laborers Requirements per cultivated hectare Corn Soybeans Wheat Water 15 25 20 Fertilizer 5 8 7 Labor** 1/8 1/5 1/4 *The data in fraction means that with one day laborer it will be possible to care for 8, 5 and 4 hectares respectively. * Sales of crops 1 and 3, according to information from the Department of Agriculture, are guaranteed and exceed the capacity of the cooperative. However, soybeans must be limited to a maximum of 150 hectares. On the other hand, the profits for each hectare of crop obtained are estimated at: $7,500 for corn, $8,500 for soybeans and $8,000 for wheat. The objectives are to determine: β€’ How many hectares of each crop must be allocated so that the profit is maximum.
