Answer:
[tex]Max\ z = 1[/tex]
[tex]Min\ z = -9[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
[tex]z = 4x + 5y[/tex]
[tex]x \ge -1[/tex]
[tex]y \le 2x +3[/tex]
[tex]y \le -1[/tex]
Required
The maximum and minimum of z
To do this, we make use of the graphical method
See attachment for graphs of
[tex]x \ge -1[/tex]
[tex]y \le 2x +3[/tex]
[tex]y \le -1[/tex]
The corner points of the function are:
[tex](x,y) = (-1,1)[/tex]
[tex](x,y) = (-1,0)[/tex]
[tex](x,y) = (-1,-1)[/tex]
We have:
[tex]z = 4x + 5y[/tex]
Calculate z with the above values
[tex]z = 4(-1) + 5(1) = 1[/tex]
[tex]z = 4(-1) + 5(0) = -4[/tex]
[tex]z = 4(-1) + 5(-1) = -9[/tex]
So, we have:
[tex]Max\ z = 1[/tex]
[tex]Min\ z = -9[/tex]
