Graph the system of constraints and find the value of x and y that maximize the objective function. constraints{×>0; y>0; y<1/5×+2; 5>y+× ojective function: c=7×-3y
To graph the system of constraints, we will first plot the line y < 1/5x + 2.
To do this, we will find and plot two points on the line:
When x = 0, y = 2.
When x = 5, y = (1/5)(5) + 2 = 3.
We can now plot these two points and draw a line through them.
Next, we will plot the line 5 > y + x. Again, we will find and plot two points for this line:
When x = 0, y = 5.
When y = 0, x = 5.
Plotting these two points and drawing a line through them, we have the following graph:
```

The shaded region represents the feasible region satisfying all the constraints.
To find the value of x and y that maximize the objective function c = 7x - 3y, we need to find the point within the feasible region that gives the maximum value for this function.
By observing the graph, we can see that the feasible region is bounded by the line y = 1/5x + 2, and the maximum value of c = 7x - 3y will occur at one of the points of intersection between this line and the line 5 > y + x.
By solving the system of equations:
1/5x + 2 = y
5 = y + x
we can find the coordinates of the point of intersection.
From the second equation, we have x = 5 - y.
Substituting this into the first equation, we have:
1/5(5 - y) + 2 = y
(5 - y)/5 + 2 = y
(5 - y + 10)/5 = y
(15 - y)/5 = y
15 - y = 5y
6y = 15
y = 15/6 = 2.5
Substituting y = 2.5 into the second equation:
5 = 2.5 + x
x = 5 - 2.5 = 2.5
Therefore, the value of x and y that maximize the objective function c = 7x - 3y within the given constraints is x = 2.5 and y = 2.5.
To graph the system of constraints, we will start by graphing the lines representing the inequalities:
1) y > 0:
This is a horizontal line passing through the y-axis at y = 0. The line represents all points on the graph that have a positive y-coordinate.
2) y < 1/5x + 2:
To graph this inequality, we need to first determine the slope-intercept form (y = mx + b) of the line. Rearranging the inequality, we have y - 1/5x < 2. Let's find two points on this line:
When x = 0,
y - 1/5(0) < 2,
y < 2.
When x = 10,
y - 1/5(10) < 2,
y - 2 < 2,
y < 4.
So, we have two points: (0, 2) and (10, 4). Plotting these points on the graph will allow us to draw a line passing through them.
3) 5 > y + x:
This inequality represents a line where 5 is greater than the sum of y and x. We can rewrite it as y + x < 5. Let's find two points on this line:
When x = 0,
y + 0 < 5,
y < 5.
When y = 0,
0 + x < 5,
x < 5.
Thus, we have two points again: (0, 5) and (5, 0). Plotting these points on the graph will allow us to draw a line passing through them.
Plotting the three lines on the same graph, we get:

To find the value of x and y that maximize the objective function, we need to find the point of intersection that satisfies all the constraints. In this case, the point (3, 1) satisfies the constraints and lies on the line of the objective function.
Therefore, the maximum value of the objective function c = 7x - 3y is obtained when x = 3 and y = 1.
To graph the system of constraints, we will start by plotting the lines and shading the feasible region. Then, we can find the values of x and y that maximize the objective function within that region.
1. Start by graphing the line y = 1/5x + 2:
- Plot two points on the line. For example, when x = 0, y = 2, and when x = 5, y = 3.
- Draw a straight line passing through those two points.
2. Next, graph the line 5 = y + x:
- Rearrange the equation to y = -x + 5.
- Plot two points on the line. For example, when x = 0, y = 5, and when x = 5, y = 0.
- Draw a straight line passing through those two points.
3. Now, we need to determine the area of the feasible region:
- The region where x > 0 is to the right of the y-axis.
- The region where y > 0 is above the x-axis.
- The region where y < (1/5)x + 2 is below the line y = (1/5)x + 2.
- The region where 5 > y + x is below the line y = -x + 5.
Shade the area that satisfies all these conditions.
4. To find the maximum values of x and y that maximize the objective function c = 7x - 3y:
- Identify the vertices (corners) of the shaded region.
- Substitute the x and y values of each vertex into the objective function.
- Calculate the value of c for each vertex.
- The vertex with the highest value of c represents the maximum value.
Note: If the feasible region has an unbounded area, then there may not be a maximum value for the objective function.
By following these steps, you can graph the system of constraints and find the values of x and y that maximize the objective function.
