Medal and fan! Find the values of x and y that minimize the objective function C = 3x+4y for the constraints below. Just need someone to check my work. :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[x+y \ge8\] \[x+5y \ge20\] \[x \ge0,y\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

They told me to find the slope-intercept, so I did: \[y \ge-x+8\] \[y \ge-\frac{ x }{ 5 }+4\]

Nnesha (nnesha):

did you graph that

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yep https://www.desmos.com/calculator/b3bhpxbiz0

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Is that right? The coordinates I mean.

Nnesha (nnesha):

let me see it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Clink on the link.

Nnesha (nnesha):

why did you put y>2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I don't know why OS is being so buggy, but I meant \[y \ge2\]

Nnesha (nnesha):

yeah that is

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Because that is one of the constraints

Nnesha (nnesha):

where i didn't seen that on the top

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So are the vertices correct: (5,3),(6,2),(10,2)?

Nnesha (nnesha):

well if y>2 then yes but i didn't see that in the constraints

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yeah I know: I made a typo. And thanks for your help :) I got the rest

Nnesha (nnesha):

no actually that is not right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh. I kind of thought so :( it didn't seem to intersect correctly. what would it be then?

Nnesha (nnesha):

because it should be where you have all shade and blue shade is not one of them

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah that's what I thought

Nnesha (nnesha):

look this one now you can look that

Nnesha (nnesha):

your point are where you even not have blue shade

OpenStudy (anonymous):

That's weird...I don't see a point where they intersect...

Nnesha (nnesha):

i'm looking for that

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It can't be (0,4),(0,8),(5,3) either right? Then the red wouldn't intersect.

Nnesha (nnesha):

nope than there is not red shade

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Hmm...I'll probably have to contact my teacher >.< this is unsolvable

Nnesha (nnesha):

(0,8) ( 5 , 3) ( 10 ,2) is one of corner points

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ah, I see. So maybe (0,2),(0,8),(5,3),(10,2) are the vertices?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Like this: https://www.desmos.com/calculator/cw4ugzj2at

Nnesha (nnesha):

no 0,2 is absolutely not one of corner because corner point is where all shade you have

Nnesha (nnesha):

0,2 is only contain one line which is y > 2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what about (6,2)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Actually no, then the blue wouldn't intersect.

Nnesha (nnesha):

nope ohh yep you got that

Nnesha (nnesha):

are you sure y>2

Nnesha (nnesha):

isn't that suppose to be y>0

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yeah. I checked for typos and everything is perfect :(

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No. y is 2, no doubt.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

And it actually threw me off since I actually thought it was 0 at first.

Nnesha (nnesha):

ok so your point are ( 0,8) ( 5 , 3) ( 10 ,2) and also you have to find minimize number so i think one of these point should work because all other point are increase value of y and x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah, I'll just input y and x in 3x+4y to determine the minimum value :( I just hope this is right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

But, forget it. I really don't care if she takes a point off or two for not getting all the points right. I'll probably just close this in a minute.

Nnesha (nnesha):

look this graph where i mark red that all shaded region because all line are going this site so its absolutely increasing ( hope so its work )

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok. thanks for your help :)

Nnesha (nnesha):

ok best of luck for that if i'm wrong sorry for that in advance best of luck let me know when you confirm that

Nnesha (nnesha):

well its my pleasure to help that i didn't exactly
