    Determining Cheapest Food Combinations (Seems like ILP problem, but also not)

    Yes, that will result in answers that I don't want. Let me refer back to my original post to answer you: I thought of this, but it doesn't feel quite flexible enough. For one, I still might want the option of all of one food item, and two, I might want options with more than one required...

    Implicit Differentiation for Tangent Line Equations

    The differentiation looks good to me. Now you just need to simplify. If you're having trouble, I'd multiply out 0.5 ( 2x + 2y ) ^ -0.5 (2+2y') and 0.5(3xy) ^ -0.5 ( 3 ( y + y' x ) ) and then pull a y' out of two terms, move the remaining terms to the other side and divide by what's...
