  1. Notes 7.5 – Systems of Inequalities

  2. I. Half-Planes A.) Given the inequality , the line is the boundary, and the half-plane“below” the boundary is the solution set.

  3. B.) Ex.1 – Solve the following system (1, -1) (-2, -4)

  4. C.) Ex. 2– Solve the following system of inequalities.

  5. The vertices for the solution to the system are and the solution set is area bounded by the lines through these points.

  6. II. Linear Programming A.) Def. - Given an objective function fn where In two dimensions, the function takes on the form f = ax + by. The solution is called thefeasible regionand the constraints are a system of inequalities.

  7. B.) Ex. 3–Find the maximum and minimum values of the objective function f = 2x + 9y subject to the following constraints

  8. Minimum Value Maximum Value

  9. C.) Ex. 4– Example 7 from the text on page 619 Johnson’s Produce is purchasing fertilizer with two nutrients: N (nitrogen) and P (phosphorous). They need at least 180 units of N and 90 units of P. Their supplier has two brands of fertilizer for them to buy. Brand A costs $10 a bag and has 4 units of N and 1 unit of P. Brand B costs $5 a bag and has 1 unit of each nutrient. Johnson’s Produce can pay at most $800 for the fertilizer. How many bags of each brand should be purchased to minimize their cost?

  10. Let x = # of bags of A and y = # of bags of B Therefore, our objective function for the COST is with constraints of

  11. Solution set looks like the following graph

  12. The vertices of the region are Minimum Value
