You can put this solution on YOUR website!
First find the feasible region and vertices.
\n" ); document.write( "\"1+%3C=+x+%3C=+6\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"2+%3C=+y+%3C=+5\"
\n" ); document.write( "The last one involves a little more work.
\n" ); document.write( "\"x%2By%3C=10\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"y%3C=-x%2B10\"
\n" ); document.write( "Let's graph the line and the other boundaries
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "The feasible region is then,
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "The vertices are then
\n" ); document.write( "(1,2)
\n" ); document.write( "(1,5)
\n" ); document.write( "(6,2)
\n" ); document.write( "(6,4)
\n" ); document.write( "(5,5)
\n" ); document.write( "The corresponding values of P are
\n" ); document.write( "\"P%281%2C2%29=3%281%29+%2B+2%282%29=7\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"P%281%2C5%29=3%281%29+%2B+2%285%29=13\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"P%286%2C2%29=3%286%29+%2B+2%282%29=22\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"P%286%2C4%29=3%286%29+%2B+2%284%29=26\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"P%285%2C5%29=3%285%29+%2B+2%285%29=22\"
\n" ); document.write( "The minimum value for P of 7 occurs at (1,2).
\n" ); document.write( "The correct answer is A.
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
