Answer

$z(0,0)= 0$, $z(0,8)= 400$, $z(4,9)= 610$, $z(8,0)= 320$ maximum $z(4,9)= 610$ minimum $z(0,0)= 0$

Work Step by Step

Step 1. Given the objective function $z(x,y)=40x+50y$, we can obtain the function values at each corner as $z(0,0)=40(0)+50(0)=0$, $z(0,8)=40(0)+50(8)=400$, $z(4,9)=40(4)+50(9)=610$, $z(8,0)=40(8)+50(0)=320$, Step 2. We can find the maximum of $z$ as $z(4,9)=40(4)+50(9)=610$ Step 3. We can find the minimum of $z$ as $z(0,0)=40(0)+50(0)=0$
