2. Break-Even Analysis A small software company invests $ 25,000 to produce a software package that
will sell for $ 69.95. Each unit can be produced for $ 45.25
(a) How many units must be sold to break even?
(b) How many items must be sold to make a profit of $ 12,000?
5. Sketch the region determined by the constraints. The find the minimum and maximum values of
the objective function (if possible) and where they occur, subject to the indicated constrains.
Objective function:
z = 3x + 4y
1
Constrains:
x + 3y 12
3x + 2y 15
x0
y0
6. Use matrices to solve the system of equations (if possible). Use Gaussian elimination with
back-substitution
3x + 2y z + w = 0
x y + 4z + 2w = 25
2x + y + 2z w = 2
x+y+z+w =6
