Question: Solve the following linear programming model using graphic paper (you do not need to submit your graph): Maximize P = 9 X + 3 Y
Solve the following linear programming model using graphic paper (you do not need to
submit your graph):
Maximize P = 9 X + 3 Y
Subject to 20 X + 30 Y < 300
10 X + 5 Y < 80
X > 0
Y > 2 (pay attention to this constraint)
(a) Plot each constraint to determine the feasible region and label it.
(b) Plot the objective function and identify the optimal point (hint: try P = 27)
(c) What are the optimal solutions for X and Y and what is the maximum profit?
X* = Y* = P* =
(d) If a new constraint, X > 3, is added to the model, will this new constraint change
a) the feasible region? Yes ( ) No ( )
b) the optimal solutions for X and Y? Yes ( ) No ( )
