A company is creating a new fertilizer additive for lawn seed, which will be a mixture of nitrogen, phosphate, and potash. Based on their research, the total amount fertilizer added must be at least 14 oz. per 5 lb. bag of lawn seed, but should not exceed 20 oz. per 5 lb. bag. At least ¼ oz. of nitrogen must be used for every ounce of phosphate, and at least 1 oz. of potash must be used for every ounce of nitrogen. The costs per ounce of nitrogen, phosphate, and potash are $0.30, $0.18, and $0.54, respectively. Determine the mixture of the three ingredients in a 5 lb. bag that minimizes costs, as well as that cost.

When proving theorems, mathematicians consider most frequently four statements:
1. the conditional statement
2. the converse to the conditional statement
3. the inverse
4. the contrapositive
Among those four statements, which ones require negation of parts, or all, of the conditional statement? When negating a statement, for which keywords must you search? How are they negated?

The table to the right gives the per capita gross national product and the per capita expenditure on defense for eight developed countries. Gross domestic product (GDP) is a measure of the total economic output of a country in monetary terms. Per capita GDP is the GDP averaged over every person in the country. Complete parts a though c.
