A political party is planning a ninety-minute television show. The show will have at least 9 minutes of direct requests for money from viewers. Three of the party's politicians will be on the show-a senator, a congresswoman, and a governor. The senator, a party "elder statesman," demands that he be on screen for at least twice as long as the governor. The total time taken by the senator and the governor must be at least twice the time taken by the congresswoman. Based on a pre-show survey, it is believed that 39, 44, and 49 (in thousands) viewers will watch the program for each minute the senator, congresswoman, and governor, respectively, are on the air. Find the time that should be allotted to each politician in order to get the maximum number of viewers. Find the maximum number of viewers. The quantity to be maximized, z, is the number of viewers in thousands.
