Linear Programming Worksheet


1) Mrs. Singh owns a clothing store. She buys x dresses and y shirts from a factory at wholesale prices.
a)
i) For a wholesale purchase, she must buy AT LEAST 15 dresses and AT LEAST 20 shirts. Write
TWO inequalities to represent this information.
ii) Mrs. Singh has $2 400 to spend on the dresses and shirts. Each dress cost $40 and each shirt
costs $30. Write an inequality to represent this information. (4 marks)
b) Using a scale of 1 cm to represent 5 units on each axis, draw the graph of all THREE inequalities and
label the region, R, which satisfy ALL the inequalities. (7 marks)
c) Mrs. Singh sells the dresses and shirts in her store. She makes a profit of $25 on each dress and $6
on each shirt.
i) Write an expression for the profit P.
ii) Determine the number of dresses and shirts Mrs. Singh should buy to make the maximum profit.
iii) Calculate the maximum profit.
(4 marks)
2) Paula visits the stationery store where she intends to buy x pens and y pencils.
a) Pam must buy at least 3 pens
i) Write an inequality to represent this information. (1 mark)
The TOTAL number of pens and pencils must NOT be more than 10
ii) Write an inequality to represent this information (2 marks)
EACH pen costs $5.00 and EACH pencil costs $2.00. More information about the pens and pencils is
represented by:
5 x + 2 y  35
iii) Write the information represented by this inequality as a sentence in your own words.
(2 marks)
b)
i) Using a scale of 1 cm to 1 unit on each axis, draw lines associated with all three inequalities.
(3 marks)
ii) Write the coordinates of the vertices of the shaded region that satisfy the four inequalities
(including y  0 ) (2 marks)
c) Pam sells the pens and pencils to make a profit of $1.50 on EACH pen and $1.00 on EACH pencil.
i) Write an expression in x and y to represent the profit Pam makes (1 mark)
ii) Calculate the maximum profit Pam makes (2 marks)
iii) If Pam buys 4 pens, show on your graph the maximum number of pencils she can buy.
(2 marks)

3) The diagram below shows the graphs of three lines and a shaded region defined by three inequalities
associated with these lines. The inequality associated with the line 3 y = x is 3 y  x

a) State the other TWO inequalities which define the shaded region. (2 marks)
The function p = 4 x + 3 y satisfies the solution set represented by the closed triangular region.
b) Identify three pairs of ( x, y ) values for which p has a maximum or minimum value (3 marks)
c) Which pair of ( x, y ) values makes p a maximum? Justify your answer. (4 marks)

4) A farmer supplies the neighbours with x pumpkins and y melons daily, using the following conditions:
First condition : y3
Second condition: y  x
Third condition : the total number of pumpkins and carrots must not exceed 12
a) Write an inequality to represent the THIRD condition (1 mark)
b) Using a scale of 1 cm to represent one pumpkin on the x − axis and 1 cm to represent one melon
on the y − axis, draw the graphs of the THREE inequalities. (4 marks)
c) Identify, by shading, the region which satisfies the THREE inequalities. (1 mark)
d) Determine, from your graph, the minimum values of and which satisfy the conditions. (2 marks)
