Linear Programming : Finding and Identifying Constraints

The meteorologists at the National Interagency Fire Center had pizza delivered to their operations center. Their lunch consisted of pizza, milk and gelatin. One slice of cheese pizza contains 290 calories, 15g of protein, 9g of fat, and 39g of carbohydrates. One-half cup of gelatin dessert contains 70 calories, 2g of protein, 0g of fat, and 17g of carbohydrates. One cup of whole milk contains 150 calories, 8g of protein, 8g of fat, and 11g of carbohydrates.

a) Write 1 x 4 matrices P, G, and M that represent the nutritional values of each food.
b) Find 3P+2G+2M and tell what the entries represent.
