Set up the linear programming problem.
-A steel company produces two types of machine dies, part A and part B. The company makes a $2.00profit on each part A that it produces and a $5.00 profit on each part B that it produces. Let x = the numberof part A produced in a week and y = the number of part B produced in a week. Write the objectivefunction that describes the total weekly profit.
A)z = 2x + 5y
B)z = 5x + 2y
C)z = 7(x + y)
D)z =2(x - 5)+ 5(y - 2)

The objective function is the total profit, which is given as $2.00 profit per part A and $5.00 profit per part B. Therefore, the objective function is z = 2x + 5y. The objective function is the total weekly profit, which is calculated by multiplying the profit per unit by the number of units produced for each type of machine die, and then adding the results. Therefore, z = 2x + 5y.
