5. A cafeteria offers pepperoni and vegetarian pizza slices. Pepperoni slices sell for $3.75 and vegetarian slices sell for $3.25. The manager noticed that every day they sell between 8 and 12 slices of vegetarian pizza. The total sales is never more than 30 slices. • Let p represent the number of pepperoni slices sold. • Let v represent the number of vegetarian slices sold. Write a system of linear inequalities to describe the constraints. Identify all restrictions. Then, write an objective function that represents the revenue made from the sale of pizza slices. What combination of pizzas will result in the maximum revenue? (8 pts)

Write the objective function and the inequalities that describe the constraints in each problem. Graph the feasibility region, showing the corner points. Then find the maximum or minimum value of the objective function. A diet requires at least 16 units of vitamin $C$ and at least 34 units of vitamin $B$ complex. Two food supplements are available that provide these nutrients in the amounts and costs shown in the table. How much of each should be used to minimize the cost? $$\begin{array}{|c|c|c|c|} \hline \text { Supplement } & \begin{array}{c} \text { Vitamin } \\ \text { C } \end{array} & \begin{array}{c} \text { Vitamin } \\ \text { B } \end{array} & \text { cost } \\ \hline \mathrm{A} & 3 \text { units/g } & 2 \text { units/g } & 3 \mathrm{?} / \mathrm{g} \\ \mathrm{B} & 2 \text { units/g } & 6 \text { units/g } & 4 \mathrm{?} / \mathrm{g} \\ \hline \end{array}$$

Consider a pizzeria that sell pizza for a revenue of R(x) = 10x and a cost of C(x) = 2x + x^2 dollars. How many pizzas sold maximizes the profit? Go Fly Motors produces a four-motor airplane, and it costs $500 to produce each single aircraft motor. The fixed cost associated with producing the motors is $2500 per day. The price function is: p(x) = 800 - 7.5x, where p is the price in dollars at which x aircraft motors will be sold. Find: a) The quantity of aircraft motors that should be produced b) The price at which the aircraft motors should be sold c) The maximum profit d) Is this profit value maximized or minimized?

Solve each problem. See Examples 7 and $8 .$ A company that produces DVDs has found that revenue from the sales of the DVDs is S5 per DVD, less sales costs of $\$ 100 .$ Production costs are $\$ 125,$ plus $\$ 4$ per $D V D$. Profit (P) is given by revenue (R) less cost ( $C$ ), so the company must find the production level $x$ that makes 0, that is, $\quad R-C>0, \quad P=R-C$ Write an expression for profit $P,$ and then solve the inequality $P>0$
