Question

The manager of a furniture factory finds that it costs $2,200 to manufacture 100 chairs in one day and $4,800 to produce 300 chairs in one day. In reference to this information, answer the following questions: - Assuming that the relationship between cost and the number of chairs produced is linear, find an equation that expresses this relationship. -. What is the slope of the line, and what does it represent? and What is the intersection point and of this line, how is it interpreted? -. If the number of chairs produced in one day is 220, what is the cost?

First, calculate the slope \( m \):

m = \frac{4800 - 2200}{300 - 100}

m = \frac{2600}{200}

m = 13

Next, determine the y-intercept \( b \) using the point \( (100, 2200) \):

b = 2200 - 13 \times 100

b = 2200 - 1300

b = 900

Thus, the linear equation is:

C = 13x + 900

The slope \( m = 13 \) represents the cost increase per additional chair produced. The intersection point (0, 900) means that the base cost when no chairs are produced is $900.

Finally, to find the cost for producing 220 chairs, substitute \( x = 220 \):

C = 13 \times 220 + 900

C = 2860 + 900

C = 3860

Therefore, the cost to produce 220 chairs in one day is:

C = 3860

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: • How many hectares of each crop must be allocated so that the profit is maximum. R= • The estimated profits for the ejidal cooperative in the next growing season.
