  1. Monday WARM-UP:

  2. Steps in mathematizing an LP problem. • Find decision variables • Find the objective function • Find the constraints • List the items related to the decision variables • Use math symbols to combine the decision variables to the limits of each item • Graph the constraints (linear inequalities) • Find corner points • A corner point is found where two inequalities intersect. Use substitution or cancelation to solve these two inequalities to find the exact coordinate (x, y). • Substitute the corner points into the objective function to find the solution (either the min. or max.) v

  3. Wednesday WARM-UP: • A farmer has a field of 70 acres in which he plants potatoes and corn. The seed for potatoes costs $100/acre, the seed for corn costs $10/acre and the farmer has set aside $3000 to spend on seed. The profit per acre of potatoes is $150 and the profit for corn is $80 an acre. Find the optimal solution for the farmer. • Write the constraints for the problem. • Write the Objective Function. • Graph the constraints and find the corner points. • To find the optimal solution you are looking for • the maximum. Use your corner points to find the • maximum profit.
