QUESTION 1
A farmer plans to grow rice and vegetables on a 100-hectare
farm. Each hectare of rice requires 3 tons of fertilizer and earns
R15,000. Each hectare of vegetables requires 5 tons of fertilizer
and earns R25,000. The farmer has only 360 tons of fertilizer
available.

Question: Determine the vertices/corner points of the feasible
region?

Choose the correct answer:

o a. (0; 72) , (70; 30) , (120; 0) , and (0; 0)

o b. None of the options

o c. (0; 100) , (0; 0) , and (100; 0)

o d. (30; 70) , (100; 0) , and (120; 0)

o e. (72; 0) , (0; 100) , (0; 0) , and (120; 0)


Let: • 𝑥 = Rice 3𝑥 + 5𝑦 ≤ 360
• 𝑦 = Vegetables 𝑥 + 𝑦 ≤ 100
𝑥≥0
𝑦≥0


Objective function: 𝑃 = 15 000𝑥 + 25 000𝑦

𝑥 = 70

𝑦 = −(70) + 100 = 30




∴ The vertices of the feasible region are at (0; 0) , (0; 72) , (70; 30) ,and (100; 0)

QUESTION 2
Water is flowing downhill at 𝟏𝟎 𝒎/𝒔 through a pipe that is at angle of
𝟑𝟎° with the horizontal. What are the components of its velocity in
vector form?

Choose the correct answer:
o a. 𝒗 = 5𝑖 − 5√3𝑗
o b. 𝒗 = 5(√3𝑖 − 𝑗)
o c. None of the options
o d. 𝒗 = −5√3𝑖 − 𝑗
o e. 𝒗 = 𝑖 + √3𝑗


❑ Vertical component (Vy ):
Because the water flows downhill, it moves downward making the
vertical component negative.
𝑉𝑦 = −𝑎2 ∙ sin 𝜃

∴ 𝒗 = [10cos 30°]𝑖 + [−10sin 30°]𝑗
√3 1
= (10 × ) 𝑖 + (−10 × ) 𝑗
2 2
= 5√3𝑖 − 5𝑗
= 5(√3𝑖 − 𝑗)

Which of the statements are true?
Choose the correct option for the statements:
o a. Only A
o b. Only B
o c. Both A and B
o d. Neither A nor B
o e. None of the options

A:
𝑛(𝑛+1)
Let 𝑃(𝑛) denote the statement 1 + 2 + 3 + ⋯ + 𝑛 =

1. 𝑷(𝟏)

∴ 𝑃(𝑘) and 𝑃(𝑘 + 1) is true.
CONCLUSION: Having proven Step 1 and Step 2, we can conclude by the
Principle of Mathematical Induction that 𝑃(𝑛) is true for all natural numbers
𝑛.

B:
𝑛2 (𝑛+1)
Let 𝑃(𝑛) denote the statement 13 + 23 + 33 + ⋯ + 𝑛3 =

1. 𝑷(𝟏)
(1)2 [(1) + 1]
(1)3≠

1(2)
1≠

1≠
3

∴ 𝑃(1) is not true.

CONCLUSION:
1 is a natural number, since 𝑃(1) is not true, 𝑃(𝑘) and 𝑃(𝑘 + 1) will
also not be true.
Thus 𝑃(𝑛) is not true.

The vertices of the feasible region are @ (0; 0) , (0; 14) , (12; 6) ,and (16; 0)
:
➢ For (12; 6) 𝑃 = 60(12) + 50(6) = R1020
➢ For (16; 0) 𝑃 = 60(16) + 50(0) = R960
➢ For (0; 14) 𝑃 = 60(0) + 50(14) = R700
➢ For (0; 0) 𝑃 = 60(0) + 50(0) = R0

∴The maximum profit is R1020
