Write a system of equations for the following problem.


A manufacturer of tennis rackets makes a profit of $15 on each oversized racket and $8 on each standard racket. To meet dealer demand, daily production of standard rackets should be between 30 and 80, and production of oversized rackets should be between 10 and 30.

Write a system of equations for the following problem.  Also write an objective function.


In order to ensure optimal health (and thus accurate test results), a lab technician needs to feed the rabbits a daily diet containing a minimum of 24 grams (g) of fat, 36 g of carbohydrates, and 4 g of protein. But the rabbits should be fed no more than five ounces of food a day. Rather than order rabbit food that is custom blended, it is cheaper to order Food X and Food Y, and blend them for an optimal mix. Food X contains 8 g of fat, 12 g of carbohydrates, and 2 g of protein per ounce, and costs $0.20 per ounce. Food Y contains 12 g of fat, 12 g of carbohydrates, and 1 g of protein per ounce, at a cost of $0.30 per ounce. What is the optimal blend of Food X and Food Y?


Let x represent the amount of Food X and let y represent the amount of Food Y.
