![# Linear Inequalities and Objective Function Analysis
## Objective Function and Constraints
Given an objective function and a system of linear inequalities representing constraints, complete the following tasks to analyze the system.
### Objective Function
\[ z = 4x + 6y \]
### Constraints
\[
\begin{align*}
x & \geq 0 \\
y & \geq 0 \\
2x + y & \leq 14 \\
x + y & \geq 7 \\
\end{align*}
\]
## Instructions
### a. Graphing the System of Inequalities
Graph the system using the provided graphing tool to visualize the constraints.
- Click to enlarge and access the graphing tool.
### b. Calculating Objective Function Values
Find the value of the objective function \( z \) at each corner of the graphed region.
- Use a comma to separate answers as needed.
### c. Determining the Maximum Value
Use the values calculated in part (b) to determine the maximum value of the objective function. Identify the values of \( x \) and \( y \) at which this maximum occurs.
- The maximum value of the objective function is ______.
- Values where the maximum occurs:
- \( x = \) ______
- \( y = \) ______
**Note:** Click the graph, choose a tool in the palette, and follow the instructions to create your graph.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F81a44892-e725-436e-9c8e-21f599a0ba84%2Fe49895ee-7531-4ad3-8fea-9bee1378bee0%2Fm4yis2i.jpeg&w=3840&q=75)
