Exercise 7.

Solve the given linear programming problem using graphical method:

1. Minimize: 5x + 3y
Subject to: 2x + 3y ≥ 36
x + y ≥ 12
x + 6y ≥ 24
x≥0
y≥0

2. A company makes two types of calculators: scientific model and non-scientific model. Each scientific
model has one plastic case, contains 20 microcircuits, and requires 6 working hours. Each non-scientific
model has one plastic case, contains 10 microcircuits, and requires 5 working hours. If the company has
24 plastic cases, 120 working hours, and 320 microcircuits available and if it makes a profit of P90 on each
non-scientific model and P120 on each scientific model, how many of each must it make to maximize its
profit?
