Chapter 4: Problem 10

Sketch the region that corresponds to the given inequalities, say whether the region is bounded or unbounded, and find the coordinates of all corner points (if any). $$ \frac{x}{3}+\frac{2 y}{3} \geq 2 $$

Short Answer

Expert verified
First, we convert the inequality, \(\frac{x}{3}+\frac{2 y}{3} \geq 2\), into an equation and find the x- and y-intercepts for plotting the line. The x-intercept is (6,0) and the y-intercept is (0,3). We then plot the line and identify the region satisfying the inequality by choosing a test point, like the origin (0,0). Since the test point doesn't satisfy the inequality, the region is on the opposite side of the line from the origin. After shading the region, we can see that it is unbounded and has no corner points.

Step by step solution

01

Convert the inequality into equation

Firstly, replace the inequality symbol with an equal sign to obtain the equation of the line: \[ \frac{x}{3}+\frac{2 y}{3} = 2 \]
02

Find x and y intercepts

Determine the x- and y-intercepts to help draw the line. The x-intercept occurs when y=0, and the y-intercept occurs when x=0. For x-intercept, set y=0: \[ \frac{x}{3}+\frac{2(0)}{3} = 2 \Rightarrow x = 6 \] For y-intercept, set x=0: \[ \frac{0}{3}+\frac{2 y}{3} = 2 \Rightarrow y = 3 \]
03

Plot the line

Using the x-intercept (6,0) and y-intercept (0,3), plot the line on the coordinate plane.
04

Identify the region satisfying the inequality

The inequality states that the region is greater than or equal to 2: \[ \frac{x}{3}+\frac{2 y}{3} \geq 2 \] We need to identify which side of the line contains the points that satisfy this inequality. A common method is to pick a test point not on the line and see if it meets the inequality. A good test point to use is the origin (0,0) because it often makes calculations easier. Substitute the test point (0,0) into the inequality: \[ \frac{0}{3}+\frac{2(0)}{3} \geq 2 \] This simplifies to 0 鈮� 2, which is false. Therefore, the region that satisfies the inequality is on the opposite side of the line from the origin. Shade this region in the coordinate plane.
05

Determine if the region is bounded or unbounded

Since the shaded region extends infinitely, the region is unbounded.
06

Find the corner points (if any)

Our region is unbounded, and there are no corner points or vertices as the shaded region continues indefinitely in one direction. In conclusion, the region corresponding to the given inequality is unbounded and has no corner points.

Finance Senator Porkbarrel habitually overdraws his three bank accounts, at the Congressional Integrity Bank, Citizens' Trust, and Checks R Us. There are no penalties because the overdrafts are subsidized by the taxpayer. The Senate Ethics Committee tends to let slide irregular banking activities as long as they are not flagrant. At the moment (due to Congress" preoccupation with a Supreme Court nominee), a total overdraft of up to \(\$ 10,000\) will be overlooked. Porkbarrel's conscience makes him hesitate to overdraw accounts at banks whose names include expressions like "integrity" and "citizens' trust." The effect is that his overdrafts at the first two banks combined amount to no more than one-quarter of the total. On the other hand, the financial officers at Integrity Bank, aware that Senator Porkbarrel is a member of the Senate Banking Committee, "suggest" that he overdraw at least \(\$ 2,500\) from their bank. Find the amount he should overdraw from each bank in order to avoid investigation by the Ethics Committee and overdraw his account at Integrity by as much as his sense of guilt will allow.

Your friend Janet is telling everyone that if there are only two constraints in a linear programming problem, then, in any optimal basic solution, at most two unknowns (other than the objective) will be nonzero. Is she correct? Explain.

Resource Allocation Succulent Citrus produces orange juice and orange concentrate. This year the company anticipates a demand of at least 10,000 quarts of orange juice and 1,000 quarts of orange concentrate. Each quart of orange juice requires 10 oranges, and each quart of concentrate requires 50 oranges. The company also anticipates using at least 200,000 oranges for these products. Each quart of orange juice costs the company \(50 \varnothing\) to produce, and each quart of concentrate costs \(\$ 2.00\) to produce. How many quarts of each product should Succulent Citrus produce to meet the demand and minimize total costs?

Create an interesting scenario leading to the following linear programming problem: Maximize \(\quad p=10 x+10 y\) \(\begin{aligned} \text { subject to } & 20 x+40 y \leq 1,000 \\ & 30 x+20 y \leq 1,200 \\ & x \geq 0, y \geq 0 \end{aligned}\)
