State the linear programming problem in mathematical terms, identifying the objective function and the constraints.A breed of cattle needs at least 10 protein and 8 fat units per day. Feed type I provides 5 protein and 3 fat units at $5/bag. Feed type II provides 4 protein and 4 fat units at $3/bag. Which mixture fills the needs at minimum cost?

A. Minimize   5x + 3y
Subject to: 5x + 4y ? 8
3x + 4y ? 10
