A steel company produces two types of machine dies, part A and part B. The company makes a $2.00 profit on each part A that it produces and a $6.00 profit on each part B that it produces. Let x = the number of part A produced in a week and y = the number of part B produced in a week. Write the objective function that describes the total weekly profit.

z = 2(x - 6) + 6(y - 2)
z = 8(x + y)
z = 2x + 6y
z = 6x + 2y

Two LORAN stations are positioned 248 miles apart along a straight shore. A ship records a time difference of 0.00086 seconds between the LORAN signals. (The radio signals travel at 186,000 miles per second.) Where will the ship reach shore if it were to follow the hyperbola corresponding to this time difference? If the ship is 200 miles offshore, what is the position of the ship?

44 miles from the master station, ( 186.9, 200)

A vineyard produces two special wines, a white and a red. A bottle of the white wine requires 14 pounds of grapes and 1 hour of processing time. A bottle of red wine requires 25 pounds of grapes and 2 hours of processing time. The vineyard has on hand 2,198 pounds of grapes and can allot 160 hours of processing time to the production of these wines. A bottle of the white wine sells for $11.00, while a bottle of the red wine sells for $20.00. How many bottles of each type should the vineyard produce in order to maximize gross sales?

132 bottles of white and 14 bottles of red
76 bottles of white and 42 bottles of red
14 bottles of white and 132 bottles of red
42 bottles of white and 59 bottles of red
