Problem
The inequalities below are graphed together: (i) (ii) (iii) Which additional inequality, when added as a fourth condition, will make the feasible region empty? a) b) c) d)Intuitive explanation
The feasible region is currently a bounded area in the first quadrant above the line . To make it empty, you need an inequality that contradicts what's already required—think about what constraint would force points to be somewhere they're forbidden to go. The key is finding a boundary that cuts off all points satisfying the first three conditions simultaneously.
