Q:

HELPPP!!!Part AConsider the given system. (look at the picture)Graph the inequalities on your graphing calculator, and find the vertex points of this system.Part BIn part A, you obtained the vertex points of the given system. Test these vertex points in the objective function, f(z) = 4x + 6y using a graphing calculator. Find the maximum point.

Accepted Solution

A:
Answer:   A. see below for a graph   B. f(x, y) = f(0, 15) = 90 is the maximum pointStep-by-step explanation:A. See below for a graph. The vertices are those defined by the second inequality, since it is completely enclosed by the first inequality: (0, 0), (0, 15), (10, 0)__B. For f(x, y) = 4x +6y, we have ...   f(0, 0) = 0   f(0, 15) = 6·15 = 90 . . . . . the maximum point   f(10, 0) = 4·10 = 40_____Comment on evaluating the objective functionI find it convenient to draw the line f(x, y) = 0 on the graph and then visually choose the vertex point that will put that line as far as possible from the origin. Here, the objective function is less steep than the feasible region boundary, so vertices toward the top of the graph will maximize the objective function.
