Algebra.Com's Answer #120319 by Fombitz(32388)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! When you plot you constraints, your feasible region is triangular patch with vertices at (4,0),(6,0),and (5,1). \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( ". \n" ); document.write( ". \n" ); document.write( ". \n" ); document.write( "The min and max values will occur at the vertices. \n" ); document.write( "P(4,0)=5(0)+3(4)=12 \n" ); document.write( "P(6,0)=5(0)+3(6)=18 \n" ); document.write( "P(5,1)=5(1)+3(5)=20 \n" ); document.write( ". \n" ); document.write( ". \n" ); document.write( ". \n" ); document.write( "Min value of P=12 and occurs at (4,0). \n" ); document.write( "Max value of P=20 and occurs at (5,1). \n" ); document.write( ". \n" ); document.write( ". \n" ); document.write( ". \n" ); document.write( "Since the inequalities do not include the lines (\">\" and \"<\" and not \"<=\" and \">=\", these values for P are limits for P and are not obtained in the feasible region. \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
