Today in Mathland we took a trip to Programania and learned about Linear Programming. It's an interesting subject to learn about, but can be quite elaborate at times. If you follow these steps you'll never have a problem.
1. Read the problem carefully
2. Write the constraints or inequalities
3. Graph the inequalities. Find the feasible region
4. Find the vertices of the feasible region
5. Write a function to find the minimum or maximum value
6. Plug the vertices into the function
7. Find the maximum or minimum
Today's trip was exhausting, but fulfilling. Now I know how to make the greatest profit. I can't wait to go back to Mathland tomorrow.
thanks for posting that pic! I didn't get it in class because I wasn't there, but that example actually made sense to me. Also your explanation of how to do it really was resourceful!
