Answer

Final Answer: The maximum value of \(p=x+2y\) subject to the constraints \(x+4y\leq9\), \(5x+y\leq7\), and \(x\geq0\), \(y\geq0\) is \(p=5\) at the point \((x, y)=(1, 2)\). So, the final answer is \(\boxed{5}\).

Steps

Step 1 :Given the problem to maximize \(p=x+2y\) subject to the constraints \(x+4y\leq9\), \(5x+y\leq7\), and \(x\geq0\), \(y\geq0\).

Step 2 :We can solve this problem using linear programming.

Step 3 :First, we define the coefficients of the objective function as \(c = [-1, -2]\).

Step 4 :Next, we define the coefficients of the inequality constraints as \(A_{ub} = [[1, 4], [5, 1]]\) and the right-hand side of the inequality constraints as \(b_{ub} = [9, 7]\).

Step 5 :We also set the bounds for the variables \(x\) and \(y\) as non-negative, i.e., \(x, y \geq 0\).

Step 6 :By solving the linear programming problem, we find the optimal values are \(x=1\), \(y=2\), and \(p=5\).

Step 7 :These values satisfy all the constraints and maximize the objective function \(p=x+2y\).

Step 8 :Final Answer: The maximum value of \(p=x+2y\) subject to the constraints \(x+4y\leq9\), \(5x+y\leq7\), and \(x\geq0\), \(y\geq0\) is \(p=5\) at the point \((x, y)=(1, 2)\). So, the final answer is \(\boxed{5}\).
