Ch 3.4 Linear Programming


For this project, I had to make my own linear programming problem and graph it. My problem was Fred wants to buy square tiles for an auditorium that will cover 300 square feet. He will use two different colors: blue and white square tiles. Each blue will cover 2 square feet. Each white will cover 4 square feet. Each square costs $10 and Fred must spend less than $700. Write the constraints and graph the feasible region. My constraints were B is greater than or equal to 0, W is greater than or equal to 0, 2B+4W is less than or equal to 300, and 10B+10W is less than or equal to 700. I graphed each graph individually and the graph shaded in brown is the feasible region.
