Name the vertices and then find the values of x and y that minimize the objective function.

Question

x >= 2
y >= 0
3x + 2y >= 12
Minimum for C = x + 5y
Help with system of constraints please! I'm terrible at this...

Answer 1

take a look at

Enter your problem. It will find a solution and even provide a graph. Be sure to set the x- and y-ranges appropriately. You can get an example to show the syntax. For this problem, just copy/paste

minimize c=x+5y subject to
x >= 2
y >= 0

Answer 2

Thanks! You really helped, I was stuck on this forever.
