question 67

Essay

Belsky Manufacturing makes three models of fans, identified by the unimaginative names of A, B, and C. The fans are made out of nuts, bolts, wire, blades, and motors. The current inventory levels and parts list for each type of fan is shown in the table.

Fan A sells for $18, Fan B sells for $25, and Fan C sells for $30. Formulate this decision as a linear programming problem, defining fully your decision variables and then giving the objective function and constraints.

Definitions:

Action Potential

A temporary inversion of the electrical potential across the membrane of a nerve or muscle cell, allowing for the transmission of signals.

Hebbian Learning

Hebbian learning is a theory in neuroscience that proposes an increase in synaptic efficacy arises from the presynaptic cell's repeated and persistent stimulation of the postsynaptic cell, foundational for understanding the adaptation of the brain during learning.

Depolarizing

A process in which a cell's membrane potential becomes less negative, often leading to the initiation of an action potential in neurons.

Neurotransmitters

Chemical messengers that transmit signals across synaptic gaps between neurons, influencing a variety of mental and physical functions.
