I'm having trouble figuring out the constraints to this problem. I know that I am maximizing 55x + 45y, however the variables are throwing me off. I only need help on question #1 as it would be a great help to understanding the rest of what the questions are asking. The problem is as follows:

NorCal Outfitters manufactures a variety of specialty gear for outdoor enthusiasts. NorCal has decided

to begin production on two new models of crampons: the Denali and Cascade. The company produces

crampons by first stamping steel sheets into the rough design, then assembling the base crampon with

toe and ankle straps. NorCal’s manufacturing plant has 120 hours of stamping time and 80 hours of

assembly time assigned for producing these crampons.

Each set of Denali crampons requires 30 minutes of stamping time and 25 minutes of assembly time,

and each set of Cascade crampons requires 25 minutes of stamping time and 15 minutes of assembly

time. The labor and material cost is $15 and $10 for each set of Denali and Cascade crampons,

respectively. NorCal sells crampons through wholesale distributors for $55 for the Denali model and $45

for the Cascade model. The V.P of Production at NorCal believes that the Denali model, recently

featured in Outside Magazine, could become a bestseller and has determined that at least 60% of the

crampons produced by NorCal should be the Denali model.

3. To begin a proof by contradiction for “If n is even then n+1 is odd,” what would you “assume true?

4. Prove that the following is not true by finding a counterexample.

5. Show a Proof by exhaustion for the following: For n = 2, 4, 6, n²-1 is odd

6.  Show an informal Direct Proof for “The sum of 2 even integers is even.”

Recursive Definitions

7.  The Fibonacci Sequence is defined as follows:                             

            F(1) = 1

            F(2) = 1

            F(n) = F(n-1) + F(n-2) for n>2.

     The first 10 numbers in the sequence are 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55.

      Find F(13) = ______________ and F(14) =______________

8.  Prove the following property of the Fibonacci numbers directly from the definition.                                                                                                          

            F(n+3) = 2F(n+1) + F(n-3)+ 2F(n-2)

9.  Find the 3rd, 4th and 5th values in the sequence.

            D(1) = 0

            D(n) = 2D(n-1) + 2 for n>1.

            D(2) = _______________________________________________

            D(3) = _______________________________________________

            D(4) = _______________________________________________

10.  Find the 3rd, 4th and 5th values in the sequence.

            D(1) = 1

            D(2) = 4

            D(n) = 2D(n-1) + D(n-2) for n>2.

            D(3) = _______________________________________________

D(4) = _______________________________________________

            D(5) = _______________________________________________

11.  Using the SelectionSort algorithm on p 169 in your textbook, simulate the execution of the algorithm on the following list L; write the list after every exchange.  

L:    9, 2, 4, 8, 6

A mass of 8 kg stretches a spring 16 cm. The mass is acted on by an external force of 7sin⁡(t/4)N and moves in a medium that imparts a viscous force of 3 N when the speed of the mass is 6 cm/s.If the mass is set in motion from its equilibrium position with an initial velocity of 4 cm/s, determine the position u of the mass at any time t. Use 9.8 m/s^2 as the acceleration due to gravity. Pay close attention to the units.

2. Island Water Sports is a business that provides rental equipment and instruction for a variety of water sports in a resort town. On one particular morning, a decision must be made of how many Wildlife Raft Trips and how many Group Sailing Lessons should be scheduled. Each Wildlife Raft Trip requires one captain and one crew person, and can accommodate six passengers. The revenue per raft trip is $120. Ten rafts are available, and at least 30 people are on the list for reservations this morning. Each Group Sailing Lesson requires one captain and two crew people for instruction. Two boats are needed for each group. Four students form each group. There are 12 sailboats available, and at least 20 people are on the list for sailing instruction this morning. The revenue per group sailing lesson is $160. The company has 12 captains and 18 crew available this morning. Develop the linear programming problem and solve the linear programming model to maximize the number of customers served while generating at most $1800 in revenue and honoring all reservations. (Hint: You need 2 decision variables to develop this LP problem.)
