Linear Programming: max -12x+5y subject to 2x+11y<=60, -12x+

[Angela123]

Find the maximum value of the objective function
-12x+5y
subject to the constraints
2x + 11y ?60
-12x +y?42
-5x +6y ? -16

Find the maximum value of the objective function
7x+11y
subject to the same constraints.

Find the minimum value of the objective function
-5x-11y
subject to the same constraints.

I graphed it, and figured out that there are 3 corner points. I found one was (8,4), but I don't really understand what the question is asking and how to find the answer.

Hmm.... They were supposed to have covered this material in the book and in your class, before assigning questions on it. :shock:

Since we cannot here provide the necessary course instruction, please try studying from some online lessons instead. Once you have studied at least two lessons, so you've got a basic grasp of the terms and techniques, please attempt this exercise. If you get stuck, you will then be able to reply with a clear listing of your work and reasoning so far.

Thank you!

Re: Linear Programming

Never mind, I figured it out. I was making it harder than it was.
