What is the minimum value of the objective function, C with given constraints? C=5x+3y {⎨x+3y≤9 {5x+2y≤20 {x≥1 {y≥2
1 answer:
Answer:
The answer is below
Step-by-step explanation:
Plotting the following constraints using the online geogebra graphing tool:
x + 3y ≤ 9 (1)
5x + 2y ≤ 20 (2)
x≥1 and y≥2 (3)
From the graph plot, the solution to the constraint is A(1, 2), B(1, 2.67) and C(3, 2).
We need to minimize the objective function C = 5x + 3y. Therefore:
At point A(1, 2): C = 5(1) + 3(2) = 11
At point B(1, 2.67): C = 5(1) + 3(2.67) = 13
At point C(3, 2): C = 5(3) + 3(2) = 21
Therefore the minimum value of the objective function C = 5x + 3y is at point A(1, 2) which gives a minimum value of 11.

Hello!
Let's think about the denominators we have. A seventh goes on forever in no specified order. A fifth an a fourth have set decimal values, 0.2 and 0.25, so they are not repeating decimals. A ninth is 0.111111..., it repeats like this forever in a specified order. Therefore, 2/9, or 0.222222...., would be a repeating decimal.
Therefore, our answer is .
I hope this helps!
