1. Question 1026330
\n" ); document.write( "\"x%3C=2\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"3x-y%3E=-2\"<--->\"3x%2B2%3E=y\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"y%3E=x-2\"
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "We can graph the boundary lines,
\n" ); document.write( "\"red%28x=2%29\" , \"blue%28y=3x%2B2%29\" , and \"green%28y=x-2%29\" .
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "We can find their intersections points (the vertices of the feasible region)
\n" ); document.write( "by solving each 2-line system of equations:
\n" ); document.write( "\"system%28x=2%2Cy=x-2%29\"--->\"highlight%28system%28x=2%2Cy=0%29%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"system%28x=2%2Cy=3x%2B2%29\"--->\"highlight%28system%28x=2%2Cy=8%29%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"system%28y=3x%2B2%2Cy=x-2%29\"--->\"highlight%28system%28x=-2%2Cy=-4%29%29\" .
\n" ); document.write( "The function will be minimum at one of those vertices or all along the boundary line that joins two of them.
\n" ); document.write( "Same thing goes for the maximum.
\n" ); document.write( "So, we calculate the value for \"f%28x%2C+y%29+=+2x-3y\" ate each one of those vertices:
\n" ); document.write( "\"f%282%2C+0%29+=+2%2A2-3%2A0=4\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"f%282%2C+8%29+=+2%2A2-3%2A8=4-24=-20\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"f%28-2%2C+-4%29+=+2%28-2%29-3%28-4%29=-4%2B12=8\" .
\n" ); document.write( "The minimum is \"highlight%28-20%29\" .
\n" ); document.write( "The maximum is \"highlight%288%29\" .
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "2. I think one of the inequality signs was drawn backwards.
\n" ); document.write( "The boundary lines are
\n" ); document.write( "\"red%28g=-3h%2B4%29\" , \"blue%28g=3h-6%29\" , and \"green%28g=%281%2F3%29h-6%29\" .
\n" ); document.write( " \"system%28g%3C=-3h%2B4%2Cg%3C=3h-6%2Cg%3E=%281%2F3%29h-6%29\" represents the region at or below the red and blue lines, but at or above the green line.
\n" ); document.write( "That region is the triangle bound by those lines (including the triangle sides).
\n" ); document.write( "The vertices of that triangle are
\n" ); document.write( "(0,-6) , (5/3,-1) and (3,-5).
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
