Question
Maximise the function $\text{Z}=11\text{x}+7\text{y},$ subject to the constraints: $\text{x}\leq3,\text{y}\leq2,\text{x}\geq0,\text{y}\geq0.$

Answer

Maximise $\text{Z}=11\text{x}+7\text{y},$ subject to the constraints $\text{x}\leq3,\text{y}\leq2,\text{x}\geq0,\text{y}\geq0.$

The shaded region as shown in the figure as OABC is bounded and the coordinates of corner points are (0, 0), (3, 0), (3, 2), and (0, 2), respectively.

Corresponding value of Z
(0, 0)
(3, 0)
(3, 2)
(0, 2)

33
47 (Maximum)
14
Hence, Z is maximise at (3, 2) and its maximum value is 47.
