Activity 5 - Linear Programming

This document contains a student's work on an activity involving linear programming problems. The student: 1) Sketched the solution sets of two systems of linear inequalities, finding the regions defined by each system. 2) Solved a linear programming problem to minimize the cost of raw materials used to produce a product weighing 150kg, given constraints on the amounts and costs of each material. The student found the solution requires using 0 units of material A and 15 units of material B, for a total minimum cost of 180.

Activity 5
1. Sketch the solution sets of the following systems of linear inequalities.

(a) 2x − y ≤ 10
3x + y ≤ 5

(b) 3x + 4y ≥ 14
x-y≤5

2. Solve the linear programming problem


In a manufacturing process, the final product has a requirement that it
must weigh exactly 150 kgs. The two raw materials used are A, with cost of
Php 6 per unit and B, with a cost of Php 12 per unit. At least 15 units of B
and no more than 20 units of A must be used. Each unit A weighs 4 kgs;
each unit of b weighs 10 kgs. How much of each type of raw material should
be used for each unit of final product to minimize cost?

2x − y ≤ 10

3x + y ≤ 5
(b)
3x + 4y ≥ 14 / FALSE ú

x - y ≤ 5 / TRUE

SOLUTION
• Decision Variables:
Let, x = raw materials A
Y = raw materials B
• Objective Function:
Minimize: C = 6x + 12y
• Constraints:
Subject to: 4x + 10y = 150
𝑥 ≤ 20
𝑦 ≥ 15
𝑥≥0

* Pertinent region lies within 0 ≤ x ≤ 20 , y ≥ 15.


Solution 1 Solution 2
Raw Material A, (x) 0 0
Raw Material B, (y) 15 15
Total Cost, (6x + 12y) 180 180

y = 15 x = 20

4x + 10y = 150

The constraints are graphed in the figure. Since the pertinent region lies within 0 ≤
𝑥 ≤ 20 , 𝑦 ≥ 15, and on 4x + 10y = 150, two solutions can be immediately found, points a
and b, where a and b have the same value of x and y.
