3.4 Linear Programming Solve linear programming problems in two variables using graphical methods.
Guiding Question: How can we apply linear programming? Lesson Objective: I will be able to apply linear inequality systems to situations and solve them.
Guiding Question: How can we apply linear programming?
Key Words: Linear Programming, Constraint, Feasible Region, Objective Fcn. Linear Programming – A way to find a maximum or minimum for a set of conditions called constraints. Constraint – Linear Inequality (acts as a boundary) Feasible Region: The area within all the constraints
Guiding Question: How can we apply linear programming?
Objective Function – The function you are trying to maximize or minimize. The Bakery bakes cupcakes and cookies. A batch of cupcakes uses 5 lbs. of sugar and 3 lbs. of flour. A batch of cookies uses 2 lbs of sugar and 3 lbs of flour. The Bakery has 180 lbs of sugar and 135 lbs of flour. Write the constraints and graph a feasible region.
Guiding Question: How can we apply linear programming? The Bakery wants to maximize profit. The Bakery makes $40 on each batch of cupcakes and $30 on each batch of cookies. How much of each batch should the Bakery make to make the most money? Objective Function in this case: 40x + 30y
