Question 987527: Given the constraints with the extrema of the feasiblity regions given as
A(3,3) B(11,4) C(16,10) D (10,16) E(5,14)
Profit function is P=3x-2y
At which extremum is the profit maximum, and the minimum?
Is the maximum C
P=3x-2y=3(1^)-2(10)=48-20=28
and the Minimum: the origin O f O,O

C is the correct maximum, but the origin is not given as an extreme point of the area of feasibility and aside from that, two of your given points give a negative result.
