What point in the feasible region maximizes P for the objective function P = 2x + 3y? Constraints

1 answer:

4 0

Suppose 2x + y = 15 -----eq 1 . x + 3y = 20 -----eq 2. Multiplying eq (1) by 1 and (2) by 2 and subtracting the result We have: 2x + y = 15 and 2x +6y =40.If we subtract, we have y - 6y = 15 - 40. So we have -5y = -25. y is 5. Substiting into eq (1), we have 2x + 5 = 15. 2x = 15-5 =10 Hence X =5.Hence option B is the correct option.

•multiply across the numerator and denominator.

= 40/90
• then find a common factor that will go into both the numerator and denominator equally.

Common factor: 5

= 8/18
•there is another common factor, which is 2

Given A(3, 4), B(4, 3) and C(2, 1), what are the coordinates of C', the image of C under a rotation of 90 degrees about the orig

Aleks [24]

Given:

The coordinates of the points A, B and C are (3,4), (4,3) and (2,1)

The points are rotated 90° about the origin.

We need to determine the coordinates of the point C'.

Coordinates of the point C':

The general rule to rotate the point 90° about the origin is given by

$(x, y) \Rightarrow(-y, x)$
