Question: Consider the following optimization problem m a x x , y 2 x + 3 y subjects to 0 x 6 0 y 4 x

Consider the following optimization problem
maxx,y2x+3y
subjects to
0x6
0y4
xy
following procedure:
Start with x=0,y=0;
Note that the objective function motonotically increases with x and y. Let's increase x first to its upper limit of 6, is the current solution (not optimal yet) feasible? Why? (5 pts)
Now let's go back to x=0,y=0, and increase y to it's upper limit of 4, is the the current solution feasible? (5 pts)
Now increase x until it reached a constraint limit, now both your x and y is at their upper bounds. Write down your final solution. (5 pts)
