Question 34

MediumOriginal question

At which point does Z=2x+3yZ = 2x + 3y reach its maximum, subject to x+y≤7,2x+y≤10,x≥0,y≥0x + y \le 7, 2x + y \le 10, x \ge 0, y \ge 0?

CorrectNot quiteAnswer A

Correct answer: A

Explanation

  1. Corners: (0,0)(0, 0), (0,7)(0, 7), (3,4)(3, 4), (5,0)(5, 0).

  2. ZZ there: 00, 2121, 1818, 1010; the largest is at (0,7)(0, 7).

Worth noting

The corner where the two constraint lines cross is not always the best; here ZZ is larger on the yy-axis.
