What point in the feasibility region maximizes the objective function? objective function: c = 5x - 4y

In general, you solve a problem like this by identifying the vertices of the feasible region. Graphing is often a good way to do it, or you can solve the equations pairwise to identify the x- and y-values that are at the limits of the region.

In the attached graph, the solution spaces of the last two constraints are shown in red and blue, and their overlap is shown in purple. Hence the vertices of the feasible region are the vertices of the purple area: (0, 0), (0, 1), (1.5, 1.5), and (3, 0).

The signs of the variables in the contraint function (+ for x, - for y) tell you that to maximize C, you want to make y as small as possible, while making x as large as possible at the same time. The solution space vertex that does that is (3, 0).

d is correct

step-by-step explanation:

question: how many people can she serve?

answer: she can serve 16.66666667 people. so she can only give 16 people a complete serving.

question: does she have enough ice cream for her guests?

answer: no. explanation: she only has enough for 16 people to have a full serving. however, she can give a 17th person a partial serving.
