Lesson 3-4
Example 1 Bounded Region
Graph the following system of inequalities. Name the coordinates of the vertices of the
feasible region. Find the maximum and minimum values of the function for this region.
y 3
x 2
y 7 2x
f(x, y) = 2x 5y
Step 1 Graph the inequalities and locate the vertices.
The polygon formed is a triangle with vertices at (2, 12),
(2, 3), and (4, 3).
Step 2 Evaluate the function at each vertex.

The maximum value is 23 at (4, 3). The minimum value is 64 at (2, 12).

29
The maximum is 31 at (1, 7). Although f(3, 5) is 29, it is not the minimum value since there
are other points in the solution that produce lesser values. For example, f(0, 2) = 8 and f(1, 1) =
1. It appears that because the region is unbounded, f(x, y) has no minimum value.

maximum
Step 7 The maximum value of the function is 1232 at (60, 8). This means that the maximum
income is $1232 when Ingrid makes 60 pies and 8 cakes per week.
