Question
By graphing the system of constraints and using the values of X and y the minimize the objective function find the minimum value

Transcribed Image Text:The given text represents a set of linear inequalities and an objective function, typically used in linear programming to find minimum or maximum values under certain constraints.
### Constraints:
1. \( 25 \leq x \leq 75 \)
2. \( y \leq 110 \)
3. \( 8x + 6y \geq 720 \)
4. \( y \geq 0 \)
### Objective Function:
Minimize \( C = 8x + 5y \)
### Explanation:
- **Variable Ranges**:
- \( x \) is constrained between 25 and 75.
- \( y \) is constrained to be less than or equal to 110 and greater than or equal to 0.
- **Inequality Constraint**:
- The inequality \( 8x + 6y \geq 720 \) sets a lower bound on the combined values of \( x \) and \( y \).
- **Objective**:
- The goal is to find values of \( x \) and \( y \) that minimize the function \( C = 8x + 5y \) within the given constraints.
This setup is commonly used for optimization problems where resources, costs, or other factors need to be minimized while satisfying specific conditions.
