Linear programming is used to find maximum profit or minimum costs given constraints. This document provides an example of finding the minimum and maximum values of a function subject to constraints by graphing the inequalities and finding the vertices of the resulting polygon. It then substitutes the vertex values into the objective function to determine the minimum and maximum values.

3-5: Linear Programming

Linear Programming
Businesses use linear
programming to find out how to
maximize profit or minimize
costs. Most have constraints on
what they can use or buy.
Find the minimum and maximum
value of the function f(x, y) = 3x - 2y.

We are given the constraints:


 y≥2
 1 ≤ x ≤5
 y≤x+3
Linear Programming
 Find the minimum and maximum
values by graphing the inequalities
and finding the vertices of the
polygon formed.
 Substitute the vertices into the
function and find the largest and
smallest values.

 The vertices of the
quadrilateral formed are:
(1, 2) (1, 4) (5, 2) (5, 8)
 Plug these points into the

function f(x, y) = 3x - 2y
Linear Programming
f(x, y) = 3x - 2y
 f(1, 2) = 3(1) - 2(2) = 3 - 4 = -1

 f(1, 4) = 3(1) - 2(4) = 3 - 8 = -5

 f(5, 2) = 3(5) - 2(2) = 15 - 4 = 11

 f(5, 8) = 3(5) - 2(8) = 15 - 16 = -1


Linear Programming
 f(1, 4) = -5 minimum
 f(5, 2) = 11 maximum
Find the minimum and maximum value
of the function f(x, y) = 4x + 3y

We are given the constraints:


 y ≥ -x + 2
