find the values of x & y that maximize or minimize the objective function: x+2y≤24 3x+2y≤34 3x+y≤29 x≥0 Maximum for P=2x+3y

Wait so P=2x + 3y is your function?

The easiest way to solve this would be to graph the four inequalities. Shade the areas above line if the equation is greater than and below the line for less than. The shaded area that all the lines share will have your answers. To find the x and y values to minimize and maximize the function find the points where the lines intersect around the shaded area. Plug these coordinates into your function to find which ones produce the lowest and highest value. |dw:1363835488700:dw|
