The points you found are the vertices of the feasible region. I agree with the first three points you got. However, the last point should be (25/11, 35/11). This point is at the of the intersection of the two lines 8x-y = 15 and 3x+y = 10

So the four vertex points are:
(1,9)
(1,7)
(3,9)
(25/11, 35/11)

Plug each of those points, one at a time, into the objective function z = 7x+2y. The goal is to find the largest value of z

------------------

Plug in (x,y) = (1,9)
z = 7x+2y
z = 7(1)+2(9)
z = 7+18
z = 25
We'll use this value later.
So let's call it A. Let A = 25

Plug in (x,y) = (1,7)
z = 7x+2y
z = 7(1)+2(7)
z = 7+14
z = 21
Call this value B = 21 so we can refer to it later

Plug in (x,y) = (3,9)
z = 7x+2y
z = 7(3)+2(9)
z = 21+18
z = 39
Let C = 39 so we can use it later

Finally, plug in (x,y) = (25/11, 35/11)
z = 7x+2y
z = 7(25/11)+2(35/11)
z = 175/11 + 70/11
z = 245/11
z = 22.2727 which is approximate
Let D = 22.2727

------------------

In summary, we found
A = 25
B = 21
C = 39
D = 22.2727

The value C = 39 is the largest of the four results. This value corresponded to (x,y) = (3,9)

Therefore the max value of z is z = 39 and it happens when (x,y) = (3,9)

------------------

Final Answer: 39

aleksandr82 [10.1K]

Answer:

The probability that a randomly selected depth is between 2.25 m and 5.00 m is 0.55.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the random variable X denote the water depths.

As the variable water depths is continuous variable, the random variable X follows a continuous Uniform distribution with parameters a = 2.00 m and b = 7.00 m.

The probability density function of X is:

$f_{X}(x)=\frac{1}{b-a};\ a$
