Answer

$C_{min}=1$; $C_{max}=14$;

Work Step by Step

The feasible region has the following vertices: $$(1,0), (8,0), (0,7)$$ The objective function is $$C(x,y)=x+2y.$$ Evaluate the function at each vertex of the feasible region: $$\begin{align*} C(1,0)&=1+2(0)=1\\ C(8,0)&=8+2(0)=8\\ C(0,7)&=0+2(7)=14. \end{align*}$$ Calculate the minimum and the maximum of the objective function: $$\begin{align*} C_{min}&=min\{1,8,14\}=1\\ C_{max}&=min\{1,8,14\}=14. \end{align*}$$
