Lesson Four - Linear Programming - Uneb 2024 - 2017 Solutions

This lesson focuses on finding and interpreting the optimum solution of linear inequalities in two variables. It includes activities involving an investor purchasing generators, a tailor making school uniforms, and friends selling cows and goats, each requiring the formulation of inequalities, graphical representation of feasible regions, and determination of maximum profits. The goal is to apply linear programming techniques to maximize outcomes based on given constraints.

TOPIC: LINEAR PROGRAMMING –Lesson 4

Finding and interpreting the optimum solution


of a set of linear inequalities

KAZIBA STEPHEN 23rd January 2025


LEARNING OUTCOMES

● By the end of this lesson you should be able to find and


interpret the optimum solution of a set of linear inequalities in
two unknowns
Activity (UNEB item)
An investor wants to buy 2 types of generators
A and B. Generator A needs 2𝑚2 of space and
B needs 3𝑚2 .The available space is only
60𝑚2 .The cost of A is $2000 and that of B is
$10,000 .The investor has $80,000 to be spent.

a) Write mathematical statements that show


the relation between the two generators.
b) Show the feasible region of the relation on
the Cartesian plane.
c ) Use the graph to find the greatest number
of generators of both types A and B that the
investor can buy using the minimum amount of
money .
Activity(UNEB item -2024)
A tailor makes school uniforms for boys and girls. The
tailor makes at least 80 sets of uniforms for boys and not
more than 100 sets of uniforms for girls. Each set of
uniform for boys requires 4 m of material and each set of
uniform for girls requires 3 m of material. The tailor has at
most 600 m of material to use. The tailor makes a profit of
Shs8,000 on each set of boy's uniform and Shs6,000 on
each set of girl's uniform. The tailor is not sure of the
number of sets of uniforms to make in order to maximise
profit.
Task:
(a) Express the tailor's conditions as inequalities and
equations.
(b) Show the feasible region of the tailor's conditions on a
Cartesian plane.

(c) Help the tailor to determine the possible number of


sets of boys' and girls' uniforms that should be made to
maximise profit. Hence, state the maximum
amount of money the tailor is likely to make.
Activity-Uneb sample
You have friends who rear cows and goats. During the festive
season, they want to sell at most 10 of their cows and at least 8
of their goats. They also want to ensure that the number of goats
they sell are less than twice the number of cows. They also do not
want to sell more than 20 animals all together. They wish to
maximise sales by selling each goat at Shs200,000/= and each
cow at Shs1.5 millions but they do not know the number of goats
and cows to sell to fulfil their wish.

(a) write mathematical statements that show the relation


between the cows and goats.
(b) Show the feasible region of the relation on the Cartesian
plane.
(c) Help your friends to determine the maximum amount of
money they will possibly make from the sale of cows and
goats.
