Math Problem Statement
10x + 5y ≤ 50 5x + 10y ≤ 50 5x + 5y ≤ 30 x ≥ 0, y ≥ 0 Find the coordinates of all corner points (if any). (Order your answers from smallest to largest x, then from smallest to largest y. If an answer does not exist, enter DNE.)
Solution
To find the coordinates of all corner points, we need to solve the system of inequalities and find the points where the boundary lines intersect.
1. Convert inequalities to equations:
- (Line 1)
- (Line 2)
- (Line 3)
- (Constraints)
2. Solve the system by finding intersections of these lines:
Find intersection of Line 1 and Line 2:
- Line 1: simplifies to .
- Line 2: simplifies to .
Now, solve the system:
From Equation 1, express in terms of :
Substitute this into Equation 2:
Now, substitute into :
So, the intersection point of Line 1 and Line 2 is .
Find intersection of Line 1 and Line 3:
- Line 1:
- Line 3:
Now, solve the system:
From Equation 2, express in terms of :
Substitute this into Equation 1:
Now, substitute into :
So, the intersection point of Line 1 and Line 3 is .
Find intersection of Line 2 and Line 3:
- Line 2:
- Line 3:
Now, solve the system:
From Equation 2, express in terms of :
Substitute this into Equation 1:
Now, substitute into :
So, the intersection point of Line 2 and Line 3 is .
3. List corner points:
We now have the intersection points:
The corner points are ordered by increasing -values:
These are the coordinates of all the corner points.
