In Exercises 5–14, an objective function and a system of linear inequalities representing constraints are given. a. Graph the system of inequalities representing the constraints. b. Find the value of the objective function at each corner of the graphed region. c. Use the values in part ( \(b\) ) to determine the maximum value of the objective function and the values of \(x\) and \(y\) for which the maximum occurs. Objective Function Constraints $$\begin{aligned}&z=3 x+2 y\\\&\left\\{\begin{array}{c}x \geq 0, y \geq 0 \\\2 x+y \leq 8 \\\x+y \geq 4\end{array}\right.\end{aligned}$$
The graphs of solution sets of systems of inequalities involve finding the intersection of the solution sets of two or more inequalities. By contrast, in Exercises \(71-72,\) you will be graphing the union of the solution sets of two inequalities. Graph the union of \(x-y \geq-1\) and \(5 x-2 y \leq 10\).
In Exercises \(1-4,\) determine if the given ordered triple is a solution of the system. In Exercises \(1-4,\) determine if the given ordered triple is a solution of the system. $$ \begin{aligned} &(2,-1,3)\\\ &\left\\{\begin{array}{c} x+y+z=4 \\ x-2 y-z=1 \\ 2 x-y-2 z=-1 \end{array}\right. \end{aligned} $$
Many elevators have a capacity of 2000 pounds. a. If a child averages 50 pounds and an adult 150 pounds, write an inequality that describes when \(x\) children and \(y\) adults will cause the elevator to be overloaded. b. Graph the inequality. Because \(x\) and \(y\) must be positive, limit the graph to quadrant I only. c. Select an ordered pair satisfying the inequality. What are its coordinates and what do they represent in this situation?
Solve each system by the method of your choice. $$\left\\{\begin{array}{l} 2 x^{2}+y^{2}-18 \\ x y-4 \end{array}\right.$$
