At Mweinga farm, a cow takes at least 180 units of vitamin A and not less than 160 units of vitamin B. Vitamin A and B are available in two types of feeds, x and y. Type x feeds contains 45 units per kg of vitamin A and 20 units per kg of vitamin B while type Y feeds contains 30 units per kg of vitamin A and 40 units of vitamin B. Taking x and y to be the number of Kgs of feed x and y respectively taken by the cow per day.
a)Form all the inequalities that represent the above information.
b)Show the region described by the all inequalities in (a) above graphically.
c)Given that 1kg of x costs sh40 and 1kg of y costs sh50, use your graph in (b) above to determine the least cost of maintaining a cow at the Mweinga farm.
