Question 1086843: Find the maximum of the objective function, f, subject to the constraints f=15x +25y {3x +4y > 60
x + 8y > 40
11x + 28y < 380
x>0, y>0
The greater and less than signs have the or equal to underscore. If possible could you show me the steps in detail because I am confused beyond belief.

First graph each inequality.

Then overlay them to define the feasible region,

Take out the inequality and just graph the boundary lines to make it more visually appealing and understandable.

.
.
.
Find the vertices using the intersection of the boundary lines.
.
.
Test the objective function at each of the vertices to find the maximum value,
I'll do one.
You do the others the same way.
(4,12):
Do the other two vertices the same way and see what the max value is and where it occurs.
