Math Problem Statement

solve

Consider the following LPP: max z = 3x + 9y, subject to the constraints 2y - x ≤ 2, 3y - x ≥ 0, 2x + 3y ≤ 10, x ≥ 0, y ≥ 0. Determine the maximum value of the objective function.

Solution

To solve this Linear Programming Problem (LPP), we will:

  1. Identify the constraints.
  2. Plot the feasible region.
  3. Determine the corner points of the feasible region.
  4. Evaluate the objective function z=3x+9yz = 3x + 9y at each corner point.
  5. Identify the maximum value of zz.

Constraints:

  1. 2yx22y - x \leq 2
  2. 3yx03y - x \geq 0
  3. 2x+3y102x + 3y \leq 10
  4. x0x \geq 0, y0y \geq 0

Let's calculate step by step.import numpy as np import matplotlib.pyplot as plt from scipy.optimize import linprog

Coefficients of the objective function z = 3x + 9y

c = [-3, -9] # Negated for maximization

Coefficients of the constraints (Ax <= b)

A = [ [-1, 2], # 2y - x <= 2 [-1, 3], # 3y - x >= 0 -> -3y + x <= 0 [2, 3] # 2x + 3y <= 10 ]

b = [2, 0, 10]

Bounds for x and y (x >= 0, y >= 0)

x_bounds = (0, None) y_bounds = (0, None)

Solve the linear programming problem

result = linprog(c, A_ub=A, b_ub=b, bounds=[x_bounds, y_bounds], method='highs')

Extract the results

optimal_value = -result.fun # Negated back to get the maximum value optimal_point = result.x # Optimal values for x and y

optimal_value, optimal_point
