z= 50 x+ 70 y?

 
 
Constraints are : x >= 0, y >= 0, x + 2y <= 1500,5x + 2y <= 3500
1) x> = 0; y >= 0 represents first quadrant i.e Q1.
2)Draw a line x + 2y =1500
x 0 1500
y 750 0
(x,y) (0,750) (1500,0)

3) plot above points on graph sheet and draw  a line.

4)substitute (0,0) in inequation x+ 2y <= 1500

 you get 0 <= 1500 ( it is true)

therefore    (0.0) lies x+ 2y <= 1500 region.shade the region.

5)Draw a line 5x + 2y = 3500.

x 0 700
y 1750 0
(x,y) (0,1750) (700,0)

plot above points on the graph and draw a line passing through them

6)substitute (0,0) in inequation 5x + 2y <= 3500

you get 0 <= 3500 ( it is true ) therefore

(0,0) lies 5x + 2y < = 3500 region. shade that region.

7) x + 2y = 1500 and 5x + 2y = 3500 lines intersect at (500,500) from graph.

8) required region is bounded by the points (0,0),(700,0)

(500,500),(0,750).

point z=50x+70y value
(0,0) z=50*0+70*0 0
(700,0) z=50*700+70*0 35000
(500,500) z=50*500+70*500 60000
(0,750) z=50*0+70*750 52500

 

therfore z is minimum at (0,0) and maximum at (500,500)
