    Follow a similar process to shade

    In linear programming shade
    the region that does not satisfy
    the inequality. R R, the unshaded region is called the
    FEASIBLE REGION. Points in this
    region satisfy all of the inequalities.
    1. To shade out the region x+2y  8,we first
    draw the line x + 2y = 8 by finding The feasible region has four
    two specific points on the line. vertices (corner points).
    What are the coordinates?
    Any easy way is to substitute x = 0.
    Then 2y = 8, so y = 4. Plot (0,4). To maximise the value of x + y within
    Similarly substitute y = 0. the feasible region,we substitute the
    x
    Then x = 8. Plot (8,0). coordinates of each vertex.
    (0,6) x+y =0+6 = 6
    2. To shade out the region 3 x + 2 y  12 :
    Now draw the line through (0,4) and (8,0). (2,3) x +y = 2+3 = 5
    (6,6) x + y = 6 + 6 = 12
    To determine which side to shade out : Again find points on the line 3x + 2y = 12. (7,1) x + y = 7 + 1 = 8
    Choose a point e.g. (0,0) e.g. (0,6) and(8,0). The maximum value is 12,
    Substitute in the inequality : As a check you could also find a third point. at the point (6,6).
    0 + 2  0 is less than 8. e.g. (2,3) Check that other points within the
    So (0,0) is not in the region x + 2y  8, Plot the points and draw the line and determine feasible region give values of
