A manufacturer makes wooden desks (X ) and tables (Y). Each desk requires 2.5 4
hours to assemble, 3 hours for buffing, and 1 hour to crate. Each table requires 1 6
hour to assemble, 3 hours to buff, and 2 hours to crate. The firm can do only up to 36
20 hours of assembling, 30 hours of buffing, and 16 hours of crating per week.
Profit is $3 per desk and $4 per table. Maximize the profit.

evaluate the mean

A reversible chemical reaction

2A B C
can be characterized by the following equilibrium relationship.
C
k 2c
Ca Cb
where the nomenclature Ci represents the concentration of constituent i. Say,
x represents the number of moles of C that are produced at equilibrium.
Conservation of mass can be used to reformulate the equilibrium relationship as:
Cc,0 x
k
2
Ca,0 2 x Cb,0 x
Where, the subscript 0 designates the initial concentration of each constituents.
If K=0.015, Ca,0 = 42, Cb,0 = 30, and Cc,0 = 4, compute x.
Instruction: Solve using NR method with initial guess i) 0, and ii) 10. Use hand
calculation. Comment on results.
