Question
The region of possible solutions is not bounded: thus, there may not be both a maximum and a minimum. After graphing the region of possible solutions and finding each corner point, you can determine if both a maximum and a minimum exist by choosing two arbitrary values of z and graphing the corresponding lines, as discussed in the section "Why the Corner Principle Works."
The objective function
z = 4x + 7y
is subject to the constraints
| 3x + y ≥ 12 |
| x + y ≥ 6 |
| x ≥ 0 and y ≥ 0. |
Find the following. (If an answer does not exist, enter DNE.)
(a) the point at which the maximum occurs (if there is such a point)
(x, y) =
,
(b) the maximum value
(c) the point at which the minimum occurs (if there is such a point)
(x, y) =
,
(d) the minimum value
(x, y) =
(b) the maximum value
(c) the point at which the minimum occurs (if there is such a point)
(x, y) =
(d) the minimum value
