Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Find the maximum value of
C = 3x -2y Objective function
subject to the following constraints.
Constraints
x ≥ 0
y ≥ 0
2x + y ≤ 10 vertex 1 : when x=0 then y=10 (0,10)
3x + 2y ≤ 18 vertex 2 : y=0, then x=6 ( 6,0)
two equations together to determine vertex 3 :
3x+2y = 18
2x+y = 10
x=2, y= 6
The feasible region determined by the constraints is
shown. The three vertices are (0, 10), and (6, 0), (0,9)
and (2,6)
First evaluate C = 3x -2 y at each of the vertices.
At (0, 10): C = 3(0) - 2(10) = -17
At (6, 0): C = 3(6) - 2(0) = 18
At ( 2,6) : C = 3(2) -2(6) = -6
At (0,9) : C = 3(0)-2(9)= -18
the maximum value occur on 18 when x=9 and y=0
