Afactory can produce two products, x and y, with a profit approximated by p=14x+22y-900. the production of y must exceed the production of x by at least 100 units. moreover, production levels are limited by the formula x+2y< 1400. a) identify the vertices of the feasible region. b) what production levels yield the maximum profit, and what is the maximum profit?

When profits are maximized, it means we want to get the highest possible profit from a function.

The vertices of the feasible region are: $\mathbf{(x,y) = \{(0,100), (0,700),(400,500)\}}$ The production level that yields maximum profit is x = 400; y = 500

The maximum profit is #17100

Production of y must exceed x by 100 means

y x + 100

The production level is given as:

x + 2y < 1400

Since x and y represent products, then:

x, y 0

So, we have:

P = 14x + 22y - 900 --- the objective function

Subject to

y x + 100

x + 2y < 1400

x, y 0

See attachment for the graph of the subjects

(a) The vertices of the feasible region

From the attached image, the vertices of the feasible region are:

$\mathbf{(x,y) = \{(0,100), (0,700),(400,500)\}}$

(b) The maximum profit

Recall that: x, y 0

This means that, we can only make use of:

$\mathbf{(x,y) = \{(400,500)\}}$

So;

The production levels that yield maximum profit are:

x = 400; y = 500

Substitute these values in P = 14x + 22y - 900 , to calculate the maximum profit

P = 14x + 22y - 900

$P = 14 \times 500 + 22 \times 500 - 900$

P = 17100

Hence, the maximum profit is: #17100
