Step 1 :The problem is a linear programming problem. The goal is to maximize the function \(f=3x+4y\) under the constraints \(x+y \leq 11\), \(2x+y \leq 16\), and \(y \leq 8\). We also have the restrictions \(x \geq 0\) and \(y \geq 0\).
Step 2 :To solve this problem, we need to convert the maximization problem to a minimization problem by multiplying the objective function by -1.
Step 3 :Then, we can use the linprog function from scipy.optimize to solve the problem.
Step 4 :The output from the Python code shows that the optimal solution is \(x=3\) and \(y=8\). The optimal value of the objective function is \(f=-(-41)=41\).
Step 5 :This means that the maximum value of \(f=3x+4y\) under the given constraints is 41, achieved at \((x, y) = (3, 8)\).
Step 6 :Final Answer: \((x, y) = \boxed{(3, 8)}\), \(f = \boxed{41}\).
