Question 11
(b) Two types of machines, type A and type B, can be purchased for a
new factory. Each machine of type A costs IR£1600. Each
machine of type B costs IR£800. The purchase of the machines
can cost, at most, IR£27 200.
The maximum amount of floor space available for the machines is 1620
m2.
(ii) The daily income from the use of each machine of type A is
IR£75. The daily income from the use of each machine of
type B machine is IR£42. How many of each type of
machine should be purchased so as to maximise daily
income?
(a)
(i) Using the coordinate Geometry formula
y-y1 = m(x – x1) we can find the equation of the line. Firstly we need to find
m the slope using the formula
y2-y1
______
x2-x1
Let (x1,y1) be (2,0) and (x2,y2) be equal to (0,4). Then we get 4–0
______
0–2
Then the equation of the line using the point (2,0) and m = -2 is
y – 0= -2(x – 2)
⇒ y = -2x + 4
⇒2x + y – 4 = 0 is the equation of K.
(b) (i)
1600x + 800y ≤ 27,200 cancel 2 zeroes
90x + 54y ≤ 1620 divide across by 9
£75x + £42y
