A chemical manufacturing plant can produce z\displaystyle {z} units of chemical Z given p\displaystyle {p} units of chemical P and r\displaystyle {r} units of chemical R, where:

z=110p.5r0.5\displaystyle {z}={110}{p}^{{.5}}{r}^{{0.5}}


Chemical P costs $500 a unit and chemical R costs $2,500 a unit. The company wants to produce as many units of chemical Z as possible with a total budget of $250,000.

A) How many units each chemical (P and R) should be "purchased" to maximize production of chemical Z subject to the budgetary constraint?

Units of chemical P, p\displaystyle {p} =

Units of chemical R, r\displaystyle {r} =

B) What is the maximum number of units of chemical Z under the given budgetary conditions? (Round your answer to the nearest whole unit.)

Max production, z\displaystyle {z}= units
