Question

Test the four possible vertices that you found in the objective function in part A. Use those values to determine which set of values maximizes the objective function. Show your work and final answer in the space provided.

Answer 1

The testing of the four vertices of the objective function gives;

C(5, 0, 55) = 430

C(5, 30, 25) = 400

C(15, 30, 15) = 420

C(45, 0, 15) = 510 (maximum)

How to test objective functions?

The objective function is seen as attached.

Now, it is noticed that just two of the vertices are listed. The other two vertices are intersections of x + y + z = 60 with x = 5 and the constraints on y.

We will assume that; 0 ≤ y ≤ 30

Thus, the missing vertices are;

(x, y, z) = (5, 0, 55)  and  (5, 30, 25)

The two given vertices are;

(x, y, z) = (15, 30, 15)  and  (45, 0, 15)

Therefore, the objective function values are;

C(5, 0, 55) = 9·5 +6·0 +7·55 = 45 +0 +385 = 430

C(5, 30, 25) = 9·5 +6·30 +7·25 = 45 +180 +175 = 400

C(15, 30, 15) = 9·15 +6·30 +7·15 = 135 +180 +105 = 420

C(45, 0, 15) = 9·45 +6·0 +7·15 = 405 +0 +105 = 510
