Linear Programming and Systems of Inequalities

When graphing constraints, what do you call the area where all the shading overlaps?

• the answer

• the feasible region

• the void

• the objective function

Given the objective function: P = 30x + 50y

Which vertex maximizes the profit?

• (0,0)

• (6,2)

• (8,0)

• (0,6)

Find the values of x and y that maximize the objective function P = 3x + 2y for the graph. What is the maximum value?

• maximum value at (5, 4); 32

• maximum value at (0, 8); 16

• maximum value at (9, 0); 27

• maximum value at (0, 0); 0

In other words...what are the vertices of the feasible region?

• (0, 0), (0, 6), (6, 2), (8, 0)

• (0, 0), (6, 0), (2, 6), (0, 8)

Which of the following inequalities matches the given graph?

• y ≤ -3/4 x + 3

• y ≥ -3/4 x + 3

• y < -3/4 x + 3

• y > -3/4 x + 3

Which are vertices of the feasible region?

• (0, 3) (3, 0) (5, 8)

• (0, 6) (3, 5) (6, 5)

• (3, 3) (8, 5) (5, 8)

• (0, 5) (6, 0) (3, 3)

What do you call the area where all the shading overlaps?

• the answer

• the feasible region

• the void

• the objective function

A farmer can plant up to 6 acres of land with soybeans and corn. Her use of a necessary pesticide is limited by federal regulations to 15 gallons for her entire 6 acres. Soybeans require 2 gallons of pesticide for every acre planted and corn requires 3 gallons per acre. The profit the farmer makes by earning $4,000 for every acre of soybeans she plants and $3,000 for every acre she plants with barley can be modeled by P=4000x+3000y . If x represents acres of soybeans and y represents acres of corns, which inequalities represent the possible solutions to her situation?

• x≥0

  y≥0

  x+y≥6

  3x+2y≥15

• x≥0

  y≥0

  x+y≤6

  2x+3y≤15

• x≥0

  y≥0

  4000x+y≤6

  2x+600y≤15

• P=4000x+3000y

Set of all points that satisfy all of the problem's resource restrictions
