OpenStudy (amistre64):

you are going to want to find where your critical region is and define its vertexes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what is that how do i find it

OpenStudy (amistre64):

you are given a few lines to graph out, those lines will define the boundarys of some region in the plane

OpenStudy (amistre64):

4x+ 3y >_ 30 x+3y>_ 21 x>_0, y>_0 <-- these are just the x and y axis

OpenStudy (anonymous):

3,6

OpenStudy (amistre64):

3.6 is one vertex, 0,0 is another, and you should have one on the y axis and the x aixs

OpenStudy (anonymous):

y >_ 10 - 4x/3 for the 4x +3y >_ 30

OpenStudy (anonymous):

y>_ 7- x/s for x+3y21

OpenStudy (amistre64):

|dw:1412629321866:dw| hmm, since y> then the line this area seems like it would be unbounded

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that point is 3,6 i know that

OpenStudy (amistre64):

otherwise, infinity, infinity is the maximum

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay thanks so how do i find the constraints in slope intercept form

OpenStudy (amistre64):

solve for 'y'

OpenStudy (anonymous):

didn't i do that already

OpenStudy (amistre64):

4x+ 3y >_ 30 y >= -4/3 x + 10 x+3y>_ 21 y >= -1/3 x + 7

OpenStudy (amistre64):

looks like you did yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that the slope intercept?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

whats the objective function

OpenStudy (amistre64):

teh objective function doesnt get ploted, it gets used when we find the corners of the 'bounded' area of the constraints

OpenStudy (amistre64):

think of it like a surface that is floating above the area

OpenStudy (anonymous):

k

OpenStudy (amistre64):

each x,y in the area defines a height above it defined by the objective function|dw:1412629809588:dw|
