A student has 30 minutes to complete an exam. There are 9 multiple choice questions worth 2 points each. There are also 3 short answer questions worth 6 points each. It takes about 3 minutes to answer a multiple choice question and about 5 minutes to complete a short answer question. Let x represent the # of multiple choice problems the student should answer correctly and, y represent the # of short answer problems they should answer correctly. Question 1 State the Objective Function (using the variable S for score) that could be used to maximize the exam score in the linear programming problem given.(1 point) Responses S=3x+5y cap s is equal to 3 x plus 5 y S=6x+2y cap s is equal to 6 x plus 2 y S=2x+6y cap s is equal to 2 x plus 6 y S=5x+3y

1 answer

The objective function that could be used to maximize the exam score in the linear programming problem is:

S = 2x + 6y
