Solution
Solution Steps
Step 1: Find the Vertices of the Feasible Region
The vertices of the feasible region are given in the graph as (0, 20), (16, 12), (20, 0), and implicitly (0,0). We will test each of these points in the objective function F(x, y) = 3x - 10y.
Step 2: Evaluate the Objective Function at Each Vertex
F(0, 20) = 3(0) - 10(20) = -200
F(16, 12) = 3(16) - 10(12) = 48 - 120 = -72
F(20, 0) = 3(20) - 10(0) = 60
F(0,0) = 3(0) - 10(0) = 0
Step 3: Identify the Maximum Value
Comparing the values of the objective function at each vertex, we find that the maximum value is 60, which occurs at the point (20, 0).
Final Answer: The maximum value is achieved at (20,0).
