Graph of an Inequality Systems of Inequalities Linear Programming

… and whyLinear programming is used in business and industry to maximize profits, minimize costs, and to help management make decisions.


Steps for Drawing the Graph of an Inequality in Two Variables

1. Draw the graph of the equation obtained by replacing the inequality sign by an equal sign. Use a dashed line if the inequality is < or>. Use a solid line if the inequality is ≤ or ≥.

2. Check a point in each of the two regions of the plane determined by the graph of the equation. If the point satisfies the inequality, then shade the region containing the point.


Example Graphing a Linear Inequality

Draw the graph of y 2x 4. State the boundary of the region.


Example Graphing a Linear Inequality

Because of " ," the graph of y 2x 4 is part of the

graph of the inequality. The point (0,0) satisfies the

inequality because 0 2(0) 4. Thus the graph of

y 2x 4 consists

of all of the points

on or below the line

y 2x 4.

Draw the graph of y 2x 4. State the boundary of the region.


Example Solving a System of Inequalities Graphically

Solve the system 2x 3y 4 and y x2 .


Example Solving a System of Inequalities Graphically

Graph both inequalities and find their intersection.

Solve the system 2x 3y 4 and y x2 .


Linear Programming

Sometimes decision making in management science

requires that we find a minimum or a maximum of

a linear function

f a1x

1 a

2x

2L a

called an objective function, over a set of points.

Such a problem is a linear programming problem.

The feasible xy points or set of points is the solution

of inequalities, called constraints. The solution occurs

at one of the vertex points, or corner points,

along the boundary region.


Example Solving a Linear Programming Problem

Find the maximum and minimum values of the objective

function f 3x 4y, subject to the constraints given by

the system of inequalities.

3x 2y 12

2x 5y 19

x 0

y 0



The corner points are:

f 3x 4y

y 0



The following table evaluates f at the corner points

of the region.

The maximum value of f is 18 at (2, 3)

The minimum value is 0 at (0, 0).
