### Linear Programming Problem

This example illustrates a typical linear programming problem where the objective is to maximize a given function subject to certain constraints.

**Objective Function:**

\[ z = 14x_1 + 3x_2 \]

**Subject to the constraints:**

\[ 7x_1 + 3x_2 \leq 8 \]

\[ x_1 + 3x_2 \leq 4 \]

\[ x_1 \geq 0, \quad x_2 \leq 0 \]

### Explanation:

1. **Objective Function:**
   - The function \( z = 14x_1 + 3x_2 \) is the objective function we aim to maximize.
   - \( x_1 \) and \( x_2 \) are the decision variables that affect the value of \( z \).

2. **Constraints:**
   - The first constraint \( 7x_1 + 3x_2 \leq 8 \) limits the possible values of \( x_1 \) and \( x_2 \) to ensure that their combination does not exceed 8.
   - The second constraint \( x_1 + 3x_2 \leq 4 \) sets another limit, restricting the combination of values of \( x_1 \) and \( x_2 \) to not exceed 4.
   - Additionally, \( x_1 \geq 0 \) ensures that \( x_1 \) is non-negative.
   - \( x_2 \leq 0 \) specifies that \( x_2 \) must be non-positive (zero or a negative number).

### Purpose:
This type of problem is fundamental in operations research and economics, helping in making the best possible decisions within given limitations. The goal is to find the values of \( x_1 \) and \( x_2 \) that maximize \( z \) while satisfying all the constraints. These problems are typically solved using methods such as the Simplex algorithm or graphical methods for two-variable cases.
