Exercise 11

The Evergreen Fertilizer Company produces two types of fertilizers, Fastgro and Super Two. The company has developed the following nonlinear programming model to determine the optimal number of bags of Fastgro ( x 1 ) and Super Two ( x 2 ) that it must produce each day to maximize profit, given a constraint for available potassium:

Determine the optimal solution to this nonlinear programming model.
