Find the maximum and minimum values of the objective function f(x, y) and for what values of x and y they occur, subject to the

given constraints.
f(x, y) = 2x + 6y
x ≥ 0
y ≥ 0
2x + 7y ≤ 70
8x + 4y ≤ 136

Given that <em>f(x, y)</em> is a linear function, and the constraints themselves are also linear, it follows that the vertices of the feasible region are the sites of extrema of <em>f(x, y)</em>. So just find where each boundary line intersects with another line, and check the value of <em>f(x, y)</em> at each intersection.

We have

• <em>x</em> = 0 and <em>y</em> = 0   ===>   (0, 0)

• <em>x</em> = 0 and 2<em>x</em> + 7<em>y</em> = 70   ===>   <em>y</em> = 10   ===>   (0, 10)

• <em>y</em> = 0 and 8<em>x</em> + 4<em>y</em> = 136   ===>   <em>x</em> = 17   ===>   (17, 0)

• 2<em>x</em> + 7<em>y</em> = 70 and 8<em>x</em> + 4<em>y</em> = 136   ===>   (14, 6)

At these points, we respectively get

• <em>f</em> (0, 0) = 0

• <em>f</em> (0, 10) = 60

• <em>f</em> (17, 0) = 34

• <em>f</em> (14, 6) = 64

Then max <em>f(x)</em> = 64 at (14, 6) and min <em>f(x)</em> = 0 at (0, 0).

The line has the same slope as 7x-y=5 and the same y intercept as the graph 3y-11x=15
scoundrel [369]
7x - y= -5. Standard form is when it is written with x and y on the same side, but x is not negative or a fraction. To find the slope and y intercept, you must change the first two equations to slope intercept. You get y=7x-5 for the first one and y=11/3x+5 for the seccond equation. Take the 5 as your y intercept and the 7 as your slope and you get y=7x+5. Now you need to change it into standard form. When all is said and done, your final answer should be 7x - y = -5.

Find the distance between the points (4,-2) and (0,10)
vagabundo [1.1K]

We can solve this problem by using the distance formula. The distance formula is: \sqrt{(x_{1}-x)^{2} + (y_{1} - y)^{2}} We can now put in values and solve.

\sqrt{(4-0)^{2} + (-2-10)^{2}}  

\sqrt{16 + 144}

\sqrt{160}
