Answer

.The values of the objective function at points \[\left( 2,6 \right),\left( 6,3 \right),\left( 8,0 \right),\text{ and}\left( 2,0 \right)\] are \[18,24,24,\text{ and 6}\text{.}\]The maximum value of the objective function is 24, and a minimum value of the objective function is 6.

Work Step by Step

From the given graph below, the coordinate of all the corner point are as follow: \[\left( 2,6 \right),\left( 6,3 \right),\left( 8,0 \right),\text{ and}\left( 2,0 \right).\] The value of the objective function at a point\[\left( 2,6 \right)\]is: \[\begin{align} & z=3\times 2+2\times 6 \\ & =6+12 \\ & =18 \end{align}\] The value of the objective function at a point\[\left( 6,3 \right)\]is: \[\begin{align} & z=3\times 6+2\times 3 \\ & =18+6 \\ & =24 \end{align}\] The value of the objective function at a point\[\left( 8,0 \right)\]is: \[\begin{align} & z=3\times 8+2\times 0 \\ & =24+0 \\ & =24 \end{align}\] The value of the objective function at a point\[\left( 2,0 \right)\]is: \[\begin{align} & z=3\times 2+2\times 0 \\ & =6 \end{align}\] Therefore,the values of objective function at points \[\left( 2,6 \right),\left( 6,3 \right),\left( 8,0 \right),\text{ and}\left( 2,0 \right)\] are \[18,24,24,\text{ and 6}\text{.}\]The maximum value of the objective function is 24, and a minimum value of the objective function is 6.
