The corner points of the unbounded feasible region are A( 6, 0) and B ( 0, 3) .

The values of Z at these corner points are as follows:

Value of the objective function

Corner point Z  x  2y

A( 6, 0) 6

B ( 0, 3) 6

We observe the region x  2 y  6 have no points in common with the unbounded feasible region. Hence 1
the minimum value of z  6 . 2
It can be seen that the value of Z at points A and B is same. If we take any other point on the line
x  2 y  6 such as (2,2) on line x  2 y  6, then Z  6 .

Thus, the minimum value of Z occurs for more than 2 points, and is equal to 6. 2

Let 𝒙𝟏 , 𝒙𝟐 ∈ [𝟎, 𝟐𝟎√𝟐] such that 𝒇(𝒙𝟏 ) = 𝒇(𝒙𝟐 ) ⇒ =
𝟒 𝟒 1
⇒ 𝒙𝟏 𝟐 = 𝒙𝟐 𝟐 ⇒ (𝒙𝟏 − 𝒙𝟐 )(𝒙𝟏 + 𝒙𝟐 ) = 𝟎 ⇒ 𝒙𝟏 = 𝒙𝟐 as 𝒙𝟏 , 𝒙𝟐 ∈ [𝟎, 𝟐𝟎√𝟐]
∴ 𝒇 is one-one function
Now, 𝟎 ≤ 𝒚 ≤ 𝟐𝟎𝟎 hence the value of 𝒚 is non-negative
and 𝒇(𝟐√𝒚) = 𝒚
∴ for any arbitrary 𝒚 ∈ [𝟎, 𝟐𝟎𝟎], the pre-image of 𝒚 exists in [𝟎, 𝟐𝟎√𝟐] 1
hence 𝒇 is onto function.
