Math Problem Statement

what are the maximum value of z and what points corespond to the maximum value of z

Solution

To find the maximum value of z=10x+10yz = 10x + 10y and the corresponding points, we need to evaluate the objective function at the corner points of the feasible region determined by the constraints:

Constraints Recap:

  1. 7x+9y1267x + 9y \geq 126
  2. 16x11y6716x - 11y \geq 67
  3. x+y43x + y \leq 43
  4. x0x \geq 0
  5. y0y \geq 0

Steps:

  1. Graph the constraints to find the feasible region.
  2. Determine the intersection points of the constraint lines, which are the corner points of the feasible region.
  3. Evaluate the objective function z=10x+10yz = 10x + 10y at each corner point.

Let's calculate the intersection points of the constraints analytically and then evaluate the objective function at each point to find the maximum value of zz.The feasible corner points and their corresponding values of the objective function z=10x+10yz = 10x + 10y are:

  1. Point (9,7)(9, 7) with z=160z = 160.
  2. Point (20,23)(20, 23) with z=430z = 430.

Maximum Value:

  • The maximum value of zz is 430 at the point (20,23)(20, 23).
