Scientific studies suggest that some animals regulate their intake of different types of food available in the environment to achieve a balance between the proportion, and ultimately the total amount, of macronutrients, consumed. Macro-nutrients are categorized as protein, carbohydrate or fat/lipid. A seminal study on the macro-nutrient intake of migratory locust nymphs (Locusta migratoria) suggested that the locust nymphs studied sought and ate combinations of food that balanced the intake of protein to carbohydrate in a ratio of 45:55 [1]. Assume that a locust nymph finds itself in an environment where only two sources of food are available, identified as food X and food Y . Food X is 20% protein and 80% carbohydrate, whereas food Y is 70% protein and 30% carbohydrate. Assuming that the locust eats exactly 100 mg of food per day, determine how many milligrams of food X and food Y the locust needs to eat per day to reach the desired intake balance between protein and carbohydrate.

1) Let f(x) = e^(xyz) . Find: fxx, fyy, fzz, fxy, fxz, fyx, fyz, fzx, fzy.
2) Use the Chane Rule to calculate derivatives ∂z/∂s and ∂z/∂t
z = e^xy tan y, x = s+2t, y = s/t
3) Use the Chane Rule to calculate derivatives ∂z/∂s and ∂z/∂t

Evaluate the surface integral
S |
F · dS
for the given vector field F and the oriented surface S. In other words, find the flux of F across S. For closed surfaces, use the positive (outward) orientation.
F(x, y, z) = x i − z j + y k
S is the part of the sphere

Nutt’s Nut Company has 500 pounds of peanuts, 100 pounds of pecans, and 50 pounds of cashews on hand. they package three types of 5-pound cans of nuts: Can I contains 3 pounds of peanuts, 1 pound of pecans, and 1 pound of cashews; Can II contains 4 pounds of peanuts, 1/2 pound of pecans, and 1/2 pound of cashews; and Can III contains 5 pounds of peanuts. The selling price is $28 for Can I, $24 for Can II, and $21 for can III. How many cans of each kind should be made to maximize revenue? Set up an LP problem. Do not solve.
