A customer molder produces 6-ounce juice glasses and 10-ounce cocktail glasses. The per unit contribution for the juice glasses (x1) is equal to 60 - 5x1, and the per unit contribution for the cocktail glasses (x2) is 80 - 4x2 for a total contribution of 60x1 - 5x12 + 80x2- 4x22. Demand requires that the production of juice glasses is twice the production of cocktail glasses.(x1 = 2x2). What is the Lagrangian function for this problem?
