Find the minimum and maximum values of
Select the correct choice below and, if necessary, fill in the answer box to complete your choice.
A. The minimum value is (Round to the nearest tenth as needed.)
B. There is no minimum value.
Therefore, the minimum value of
Step 1 :First, we need to graph the constraints to find the feasible region. The constraints are
Step 2 :The feasible region is a polygon bounded by the lines
Step 3 :The vertices of this polygon are the points where these lines intersect. We can find these points by solving the equations simultaneously.
Step 4 :Solving
Step 5 :Solving
Step 6 :Solving
Step 7 :Solving
Step 8 :Now we substitute these vertices into the objective function
Step 9 :Substituting
Step 10 :Substituting
Step 11 :Substituting
Step 12 :Substituting
Step 13 :So the minimum value of
Step 14 :Therefore, the minimum value of
