Unit 2: Linear Programming Problems

Step 2: Fix up the graphic scale Notes
Maximum points = 4
Minimum points = 1
1 cm. = 1 point

Step 3: Graph the data

Step 4: Find the co-ordinates of the corner points

Corner Points x1 x2
A 2.5 0.17
B 2.5 1.5
C 0 1.5
D 0 1

At A: x = 2.5 …..(1)
1
x + 3x = 3 …..(2)
2 2
Put x = 2.5 in eq. (2) ,
1
2.5 + 3x = 3
2
3x = 3 – 2.5
2
3x = 0.5
2
x = 0.166
2
Therefore x = 0.17
