a. A student earns $15 per hour for tutoring and $10 per hour as a teacher’s aide. Let
b. The student is bound by the following constraints:
• To have enough time for studies, the student can work no more than 20 hours per week.
• The tutoring center requires that each tutor spend at least three hours per week tutoring.
• The tutoring center requires that each tutor spend no more than eight hours per week tutoring.
Write a system of three inequalities that models these constraints.
c. Graph the system of inequalities in part (b). Use only the first quadrant and its boundary, because x and y are nonnegative.
d. Evaluate the objective function for total weekly earnings at each of the four vertices of the graphed region. The vertices should occur at (3, 0). (8, 0). (3, 17). and(8,12).|
e. Complete the missing portions of this statement: The student can earn the maximum amount per week by
tutoring for ________ hours per week and working as a
teacher’s aide for_________ hours per week. The maximum
amount that the student can earn each week is $_________.

- The manufacturer of a weight training bench spends $120 to build each bench and sells them for $170. The manufacturer also has fixed costs each month of $150,000. (a) Find the cost function C when x benches are manufactured. (b) Find the revenue function R when x benches are sold. (c) Show the break-even point by graphing both the Revenue and Cost functions on the same grid. (d) Find the break-even point. Interpret what the break-even point means.arrow_forwardAt the Pizza Dude restaurant, a 12-in. pizza costs 5.40 to make, and the manager wants to make at least 4.80 from the sale of each pizza.
