Help with one quick question please? #Medal+Fan

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sure, whats ur question?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Graph the system of constraints. Name all vertices. Then find the values of x and y that maximize or minimize the objective function. Find the maximum or minimum value.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Maximum **

OpenStudy (anonymous):

:e im not good at this stuff im sowwie

@hartnn Tried using desmos to graph but It won't work for this Equation..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what do you think it is?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The online graphing calculator Desmos doesn't support the first line of the equation so Im not sure.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wait

hartnn (hartnn):

try separating it into 2 equations \(x+y \le 13 \\ x+y \ge 6\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do we have x>=0 and y>=0 also?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol @LetsLearn2000 You got that pic from google XD

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay I'm about to try @hartnn

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@hartnn Here it is. Do you think I would get the same solution though by doing that?

hartnn (hartnn):

yes, you'd get a same solution

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok, can you take me through it now that I have the graph just to assure I get this correct.

hartnn (hartnn):

ok, what are the 4 intersection points of the feasible region?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

(5,1) (3,3) (3,10) (12,1)

hartnn (hartnn):

correct! now plug each of them in P = 4x+3y

hartnn (hartnn):

like 3,3 P = 4(3) + 3(3) = 12 + 9 = 21

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay, then what ever plots result in having the highest number is the maximum.. correct?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and I would put those plots I listed as my "vertices" correct?

hartnn (hartnn):

yes and yes :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok thanks so much! :)

hartnn (hartnn):

welcome ^_^
