Problem
Consider the following boundaries in the first quadrant. • is drawn as a solid line; the region of interest lies on or above this line. • is drawn as a dashed line; the region of interest lies strictly below this line. • The coordinate axes form the other boundaries. Answer the following questions. a. (i) Write the linear inequality corresponding to each line and , taking proper account of whether the boundary is included or excluded. b. (ii) Sketch the feasible region satisfying all the constraints and clearly mark its corner points. c. (iii) Verify whether the point belongs to the feasible region and justify your conclusion.Intuitive explanation
The key here is to identify the feasible region—the set of all points that satisfy all constraints simultaneously. You need to find where these four boundaries intersect to form a closed polygon, then determine which side of each line belongs in your region. Pay special attention to whether each boundary is included (solid line) or excluded (dashed line), as this affects whether edge points are part of your feasible region.
