The constraints of a problem are listed below. What are the vertices of the feasible region?

[tex]\[
\begin{array}{l}
x + 3y \leq 6 \\
4x + 6y \geq 9 \\
x \geq 0 \\
y \geq 0
\end{array}
\][/tex]

A. [tex]\(\left(-\frac{3}{2}, \frac{5}{2}\right), \left(\frac{9}{4}, 0\right), (6,0)\)[/tex]
B. [tex]\((0,0), \left(0, \frac{3}{2}\right), \left(\frac{9}{4}, 0\right)\)[/tex]
C. [tex]\((0,0), (0,2), (6,0)\)[/tex]
D. [tex]\(\left(0, \frac{3}{2}\right), (0,2), (6,0), \left(\frac{9}{4}, 0\right)\)[/tex]

Sagot :

To find the vertices of the feasible region given the constraints:

1. [tex]\( x + 3y \leq 6 \)[/tex]
2. [tex]\( 4x + 6y \geq 9 \)[/tex]
3. [tex]\( x \geq 0 \)[/tex]
4. [tex]\( y \geq 0 \)[/tex]

We need to determine the points where the boundary lines intersect each other and the coordinate axes [tex]\(x = 0\)[/tex] and [tex]\(y = 0\)[/tex].

### Step-by-Step Solution:

#### Finding Intersections:
1. Intersection of [tex]\( x + 3y = 6 \)[/tex] and [tex]\( y = 0 \)[/tex]:
- Substitute [tex]\( y = 0 \)[/tex] into [tex]\( x + 3y = 6 \)[/tex]:
[tex]\[ x + 3(0) = 6 \implies x = 6 \][/tex]
- Point: [tex]\( (6, 0) \)[/tex]

2. Intersection of [tex]\( x = 0 \)[/tex] and [tex]\( x + 3y = 6 \)[/tex]:
- Substitute [tex]\( x = 0 \)[/tex] into [tex]\( x + 3y = 6 \)[/tex]:
[tex]\[ 0 + 3y = 6 \implies y = 2 \][/tex]
- Point: [tex]\( (0, 2) \)[/tex]

3. Intersection of [tex]\( x + 3y = 6 \)[/tex] and [tex]\( 4x + 6y = 9 \)[/tex] (Setting up the system of equations):
[tex]\[ \begin{cases} x + 3y = 6 \\ 4x + 6y = 9 \end{cases} \][/tex]
- Solving the system leads to the intersection point [tex]\( \left(-\frac{3}{2}, \frac{5}{2}\right) \)[/tex]

#### Checking Feasibility:
4. Intersection with Coordinate Axes:
- Origin [tex]\( (0, 0) \)[/tex]
- By definition [tex]\( x \geq 0 \)[/tex] and [tex]\( y \geq 0 \)[/tex], so:
1. [tex]\( (0, 0) \)[/tex]
2. [tex]\( (6, 0) \)[/tex]
3. [tex]\( (0, 2) \)[/tex]
4. [tex]\( \left(-\frac{3}{2}, \frac{5}{2}\right) \)[/tex] - Not within the feasible region as both x and y should be non-negative.

#### Solution:
Combining all feasible points, we get:
[tex]\[ \text{Vertices are: } (0, 0), (6, 0), (0, 2), \left(-\frac{3}{2}, \frac{5}{2}\right) \][/tex]
But since [tex]\(\left(-\frac{3}{2}, \frac{5}{2}\right)\)[/tex] is not valid in the given constraints,
So we reconsider:
[tex]\[ \text{Vertices are: } (0, 0), (6, 0), (0, 2) \][/tex]

So, the correct answer is:
[tex]\[ (0,0), (0,2), (6, 0) \][/tex]
