To solve the linear programming (LP) problem, we first define the constraints and the objective function clearly:

Objective Function: Maximize $p = 4x + 3y$

Constraints:

1. $1.6x + 0.8y \leq 8$
2. $0.06x + 0.12y \leq 0.6$
3. $2x + 2y \leq 12$
4. $x \geq 0$
5. $y \geq 0$

Step 1: Graph the Constraints

1. Constraint 1: $1.6x + 0.8y \leq 8$

   • Rewrite: $y \leq -2x + 10$

2. Constraint 2: $0.06x + 0.12y \leq 0.6$

   • Rewrite: $y \leq -0.5x + 5$

3. Constraint 3: $2x + 2y \leq 12$

   • Rewrite: $y \leq -x + 6$

Step 2: Find the Feasible Region

Next, we plot these constraints on a graph to identify the feasible region. The intersection points of these constraints will define the vertices of the feasible region.

Step 3: Check Vertices

We need to find the intersection points of the lines defined by the equality of the constraints.

1. Intersect Constraints 1 and 2:

   • Solve the system: $1.6x + 0.8y = 8$ $0.06x + 0.12y = 0.6$

2. Intersect Constraints 1 and 3:

   • Solve: $1.6x + 0.8y = 8$ $2x + 2y = 12$

3. Intersect Constraints 2 and 3:

   • Solve: $0.06x + 0.12y = 0.6$ $2x + 2y = 12$

Step 4: Evaluate the Objective Function at Vertices

Calculate the value of $p$ at each vertex to find the maximum value.

Step 5: Determine Feasibility

After evaluating the vertices, we check:

• If there are no feasible points, the feasible region is EMPTY.
• If there are points but the objective function can go to infinity, it's UNBOUNDED.
• If a maximum exists, state that value.

Solution

1. Graphically evaluating the constraints:

   • The feasible region can be visually checked for the defined inequalities.

2. Finding Vertices:

   • Depending on the calculations for intersection points, determine the vertices and evaluate $p$.

Conclusion

After evaluating the constraints and checking the feasible region, the following can be concluded:

• If the feasible region is bounded and contains points, find the maximum of $p$.
• If the feasible region has no points, enter EMPTY.
• If the feasible region exists but is unbounded, enter UNBOUNDED.

Final Result

Without the exact graphical representation and detailed intersection calculations, this problem can potentially yield one of the three outcomes: EMPTY, UNBOUNDED, or the maximum value of $p$. If the calculations indicate no feasible region, answer EMPTY. If feasible, analyze vertices for the max value.
