e Elixer Drug Company produces a drug from two ingredients. Eachingredient contains the same three antibiotics, in differentproportions. One gram of ingredient 1 contributes 3 units, and 1gram of ingredient 2 contributes 1 unit of antibiotic 1; the drugrequires 6 units. At least 4 units of antibiotic 2 are required,and the ingredients contribute 1 unit each per gram. At least 12units of antibiotic 3 are required; a gram of ingredient 1contributes 2 units, and a gram of ingredient 2 contributes 6units. The cost for a gram of ingredient 1 is $80, and the cost fora gram of ingredient 2 is $50. The company wants to formulate alinear programming model to determine the number of grams of eachingredient that must go into the drug to meet the antibioticrequirements at the minimum cost.
