Problem 10
You are given the final simplex tableau for the dual problem. Give the solution to the primal problem and the solution to the associated dual problem. Problem: Minimize \(\quad C=2 x+3 y\) subject to $\begin{aligned} x+4 y & \geq 8 \\ x+y & \geq 5 \\ 2 x+y & \geq 7 \\\ x \geq 0, y & \geq 0 \end{aligned}$ Final tablcau: $$ \begin{array}{cccccc|c} u & v & w & x & y & P & \text { Constant } \\ \hline 0 & 1 & \frac{7}{3} & \frac{4}{3} & -\frac{1}{3} & 0 & \frac{5}{5} \\ 1 & 0 & -\frac{1}{3} & -\frac{1}{3} & \frac{1}{3} & 0 & \frac{1}{3} \\ \hline 0 & 0 & 2 & 4 & 1 & 1 & 11 \end{array} $$

A veterinarian has been asked to prepare a diet for a group of dogs to be used in a nutrition study at the School of Animal Science. It has been stipulated that each serving should be no larger than \(8 \mathrm{oz}\) and must contain at least 29 units of nutrient \(I\) and 20 units of nutrient II. The vet has decided that the diet may be prepared from two brands of dog food: brand \(\mathrm{A}\) and brand \(\mathrm{B}\). Each ounce of brand A contains 3 units of nutrient \(\mathrm{I}\) and 4 units of nutrient II. Each ounce of brand \(B\) contains 5 units of nutrient I and 2 units of nutrient II. Brand \(A\) costs 3 cents/ounce and brand B costs 4 cents/ounce. Determine how many ounces of each brand of dog food should be used per serving to meet the given requirements at minimum cost.
