a chemical manufacturing plant can produce z units of chemical Z given x units of chemical X and y units of chemical Y, where z=500(x^0.6)(y^0.3). Chemical X costs $10 a unit and chemical Y costs $25 a unit. The company wishes to produce as many units of chemical Z as possible given a fixed budget of $2000.
更新1:

how many units each of chemical X and chemicalY should the company purchase? how many units of chemical Z can be produced given these purchase?

更新2:

what is the value of λ (Lambda)? Interpret it in this situation.

Setting the constraints:
10x + 25y = 2000
2x + 5y = 400
So the Lagrange multipliers may be intepreted as follows:

x = 5y, so y should be 80/3, rather than 2000/3. Please be careful.
