Maximize z = 2x + 4y subject to the constraints

x ≥ 0, y ≥ 0, x + y ≥ 1, 3x + 2y <= 6

Open in App
Solution

x0
When x is greater than zero it mean tangent of that mean the feasible region is on or to the right of the line where equation is zero(x=0) which is the line which is y axis
y0
Where y is greater that it means above that mean feasible region is on or above the line where equation is y=0 which is the line which is x-axis
Those two mean that the feasible region is in the upper right hand part of the xy co ordinate system.

When x is greater that it mean right of
y1x
That mean feasible region os on or of above the line where equation is x+y=1
