Question: Indicate graphically whether the following linear program has a feasible solution.Maximize Z = x 1 + 2 x 2 , subject to: x 1 -

Indicate graphically whether the following linear program has a feasible solution.Maximize Z = x1+2x2,subject to: x1-2x2=3, x1+\times 23,X10,x2=0.
A fertilizer company purchases nitrates, phosphates, potash, and an inert chalk base at a cost of $1500,$500,$1000, and $100 per ton, respectively, and produces four fertilizers A,B,C, and D. The production cost, selling price, and composition of the four fertilizers are given below.

During any week, no more than 1000 tons of nitrate, 2000 tons of phosphates, and 1500 tons of potash will be available. The company is required to supply a minimum of 5000 tons of fertilizer A and 4000 tons of fertilizer D per week to its customers; but it is otherwise free to produce the fertilizers in any quantities it pleases. Formulate the problem of finding the quantity of each fertilizer to be produced by the company to maximize its profit.
Describe how you can proceed to find a solution to the problem formulated above.
