Foundations of Math 11 Section 6.3 Linear Programming 79 6.3 Linear Programming Linear inequalities can be used to solve optimization problems, problems in which we find the greatest or least value of functions. The method used to solve such problems is called linear programming. The two-variable linear programming, which we will work with, consists of two parts: 1. An objective function tells us the quantit we want to maimize or minimize.. The sstem of constraints consists of linear inequalities whose solution is called the feasible solution with area called the feasible region. If there is an optimal solution, it must be at the vertices of the feasible region. The solution will be found b testing the function at each verte. Steps to Follow for Solving a Linear Programming Problem Step 1: Sketch the region R determined b the sstem of constraints. Step : Find the vertices of R. Step 3: Calculate the value of the objective function C at each verte of R. Step : Find the maimum or minimum value(s) of C. Eample 1 Find the maimum and minimum values of the objective function given b C = 7 + 3 subject to the following constraints: + 10 0, 0 Solution: Graph the constraints equations using method from section 6.. The maimum and minimum values of C must occur at a verte of R. Verte Value of C = 7 + 3 (0, 0) 7(0) + 3(0) = 0 (0, ) 7(0) + 3() = 1 (5, 0) 7(5) + 3(0) = 35 (, 6) 7() + 3(6) = 3 (,6) (0,) (0,0) (5,0) Hence, the minimum value of C is 0, which occurs at (0, 0); the maimum value C = 35 occurs at (5, 0). their licensing agreement.

Eample 3 Maimize and minimize C = 3 + subject to: + 8 + 10 0, 0 Solution: Verte C = 3 + (, ) (, 0) 1 (10, 0) 30 (0,8) (0,5) (,) (,0) (10,0) Maimum C = 30 occurs at (10, 0); minimum C = 1 occurs at (, 0). their licensing agreement.

Foundations of Math 11 Section 6.3 Linear Programming 81 Eample Maimize and minimize C = + 6 subject to: + 3 1 + 3 9 0, 0 Solution: Verte C = + 6 (0, ) (3, ) 18 (9, 0) 18 (0,) (3,) (9,0) Minimum C = 18 occurs at line segment + 3 = 9 with 3 9. Ever point on this line segment + 3 = 9 between = 3 to = 9 gives C = 18. Although C = is the maimum of these 3 vertices, there is no upper boundar to the region, e.g. (0, 10) gives C = 60, (0, 100) gives C = 600. Therefore, there is no maimum value for this problem. Summar of Linear Programming 1. If the linear programming problem has an optimal solution, either maimum or minimum of the objective function, then it must occur at the corner of the feasible region.. If the feasible region is closed and bounded like eamples 1, and 3, then the objective function has both a maimum and minimum value. 3. If the objective function has the same optimum value at two corners, then the optimum value is an point on the line segment connecting the two corner points.. When the feasible region is not closed like eample, the objective function ma have a maimum onl, a minimum onl, or neither. their licensing agreement.
