Chapter 11: Q. 51 (page 794)

In Problems 51 and 52, solve each linear programming problem.
Maximize $z = 3 x + 4 y$ when $x 鈮� 0, y 鈮� 0, 3 x + 2 y 鈮� 6, x + y 鈮� 8$

Short Answer

Expert verified

By maximizing $z = 3 x + 4 y$ when $x 鈮� 0, y 鈮� 0, 3 x + 2 y 鈮� 6, x + y 鈮� 8$ , the maximum value is $z = 32$ which occurs at $x = 0; y = 8$

Step by step solution

Step 1. Given

The problem:

$z = 3 x + 4 y$

The constraints:

$x 鈮� 0, y 鈮� 0, 3 x + 2 y 鈮� 6, x + y 鈮� 8$

Step 2. Graph the constraints.

The graph of the constraints (the feasible points) is illustrated:

Step 3. List the corner points

We list the corner points and evaluate the objective function at each.

S.No.	Corner points (x,y)	Value of the objective function $z = 3 x + 4 y$
1.	$(0, 3)$	$z = 3 (0) + 4 (3) = 12$
2.	$(0, 8)$	$z = 3 (0) + 4 (8) = 32$
3.	$(2, 0)$	$z = 3 (2) + 4 (0) = 6$
4.	$(8, 0)$	$z = 3 (8) + 4 (0) = 24$

Step 4. Maximize the objective function.

From the table, the maximum value of the given objective function is $32$ and it occurs at $(0, 8)$
