Three materials X, Y, and Z are required to produce two products A and B. The profit function of each product is nonlinear. The total profit function for Product A is 80A - A2 and the total profit function for Product B is 72B - 0.8B2. Thus, the total profit for producing A and B together is 80A - A2 + 72B - 0.8B2. (These two profit functions are independent.) a. Use the Nonlinear Solver (GRG Nonlinear) to solve the...
