x ≤ 10
x +y≥ 5
x + 2y ≤ 18
Part 2 Exercises:
1. Find the coordinates of the vertices of the feasible region. Clearly show how each vertex is determined and which lines form the vertex.
2. What is the maximum and the minimum value of the function Q = 60x+78y on the feasible region?

1. (0,5), (0,9), (10,4), (10,0), (5,0)

2.

Step-by-step explanation:

1.

In order to determine the coordinates of the vertices of the feasible region, we must first graph each of the inequalities. The feasible region is the region where all the inequalities cross each other. In this case it's the region shaded on the attached picture.

The first point is the intercept between the equations x=0 and x+y=5 so in order to find this first coordinate we need to substitute x=0 and solve for y.

0+y=5

y=5

(0,5)

The next point is the intercept between the equations x=0 and x+2y=18, so again, we substitute x for zero and solve for y:

0+2y=18

y=9

(0,9)

The next coordinate is the intercept between the lines x=10 and x+2y=18, so we substitute x for 10 and solve for y:

10+2y=18

2y=18-10

2y=8

y=4, so the oint is

(10,4)

The next point is the intercept between the lines x=10 and y=0, so the point is:

(10,0)

The final point is the intercept between the equations: y=0 and x+y=5. We substitute y for zero and solve for x:

x+0=5

x=5

so the point is:

(5,0).

2. In order to determine the maximum and minimum value of the function Q=60x+78y on the feasible region, we must evaluate it for each of the points found on part 1.

(0,5)

Q=60(0)+78(5)

Q=390

(0,9)

Q=60(0)+78(9)

Q=702

(10,4)

Q=60(10)+78(4)

Q=912

(10,0)

Q=60(10)+78(0)

Q=600

(5,0)

Q=60(5)+78(0)

Q=300

So now we compare the answers and pick the minimum and maximum results.

We get that:

when x=10 and y=4

and

When x=5 and y=0

step-by-step explanation:

answer: bea's uncle is 25 years old.

step-by-step explanation:

given the equation , we can say that the variable "x" represents the age of bea's uncle. then to find his age, we need to solve for "x":

we must add 15 to both sides of the equation:

now we need to divide both sides of the equation by 3:

therefore, we can conclude that bea's uncle is 25 years old.
