Solving for Maxima-Minima (9.11.1)

Question 1

• Using linear programming, you can apply constraints in the form of inequalities onto functions. This allows you to
determine maximum and minimum points, a very useful activity for many business applications.

Question 2

• To do so, graph the system of inequalities and find the vertex points of the region created by the system. Substitute the coordinates of these vertex points into the main equation. The greatest answer is the maximum of the function; the smallest answer is the minimum.
