To solve this problem, let’s follow these steps:
1. Graph the constraints: We will graph the feasible region determined by the constraints.
2. Identify the corner points: Determine the intersection points of the constraints.
3. Evaluate the objective function at the corner points: Calculate the value of the objective function [tex]\(C = 7x - 3y\)[/tex] at each corner point.
4. Determine the maximum value: Identify which point gives the maximum value for the objective function [tex]\(C\)[/tex].
### Step 1: Graph the Constraints
The given constraints are:
1. [tex]\(x \geq 0\)[/tex]
2. [tex]\(y \geq 0\)[/tex]
3. [tex]\(y \leq \frac{1}{5}x + 2\)[/tex]
4. [tex]\(y + x \leq 5\)[/tex]
### Step 2: Identify the Intersection Points
To find the intersection points, we solve the equations derived from the constraints:
#### Intersection of [tex]\( y = \frac{1}{5}x + 2 \)[/tex] and [tex]\( y + x = 5 \)[/tex]:
Set [tex]\(y = \frac{1}{5}x + 2\)[/tex] into [tex]\( y + x = 5\)[/tex]:
[tex]\[
\frac{1}{5}x + 2 + x = 5
\][/tex]
[tex]\[
x + \frac{1}{5}x = 3
\][/tex]
[tex]\[
\frac{6}{5}x = 3
\][/tex]
[tex]\[
x = \frac{5 \cdot 3}{6} = 2.5
\][/tex]
[tex]\[
y = \frac{1}{5}(2.5) + 2 = 2.5
\][/tex]
So, one of the intersection points is [tex]\((2.5, 2.5)\)[/tex].
#### Other points from constraints:
- [tex]\( (0, 2) \)[/tex] : Intersection of [tex]\( y = \frac{1}{5}x + 2 \)[/tex] and [tex]\(x = 0 \)[/tex]
- [tex]\( (5, 0) \)[/tex] : Intersection of [tex]\( y + x = 5 \)[/tex] and [tex]\(y = 0 \)[/tex]
- [tex]\( (0, 0) \)[/tex] : Intersection of [tex]\( y = 0 \)[/tex] and [tex]\(x = 0 \)[/tex]
So, the corner points of the feasible region are:
[tex]\[
(2.5, 2.5), (0, 2), (0, 0), (5, 0)
\][/tex]
### Step 3: Evaluate the Objective Function at Each Corner Point
We now calculate the value of the objective function [tex]\(C = 7x - 3y\)[/tex] at each corner point:
- At [tex]\((2.5, 2.5)\)[/tex]:
[tex]\[
C = 7(2.5) - 3(2.5) = 17.5 - 7.5 = 10
\][/tex]
- At [tex]\((0, 2)\)[/tex]:
[tex]\[
C = 7(0) - 3(2) = 0 - 6 = -6
\][/tex]
- At [tex]\((0, 0)\)[/tex]:
[tex]\[
C = 7(0) - 3(0) = 0
\][/tex]
- At [tex]\((5, 0)\)[/tex]:
[tex]\[
C = 7(5) - 3(0) = 35 - 0 = 35
\][/tex]
### Step 4: Determine the Maximum Value
Comparing the values obtained:
[tex]\[
10, -6, 0, 35
\][/tex]
The maximum value of the objective function is 35 which occurs at the point [tex]\((5, 0)\)[/tex].
### Conclusion
Therefore, the values of [tex]\(x\)[/tex] and [tex]\(y\)[/tex] that maximize the objective function [tex]\(C = 7x - 3y\)[/tex] within the given constraints are:
[tex]\[
x = 5 \quad \text{and} \quad y = 0
\][/tex]
Thus, the maximum value of the objective function is 35 at the point [tex]\((5, 0)\)[/tex].
