What is the minimum value for z =3x-1/2y over feasibility region defined by the constraints shown above
2 answers:
To obtain the minimum value of z, the first term of the binomial equation should be as small as possible, while the second term should be as large as possible. Thus, you must choose the lowest boundary of x which is 0. Then, choose the highest boundary of y which is 8. So, we substitute this to the equation:
So, the minimum value of z is -4.
So, the minimum value of z is -4.

<em>Additional comment</em>
The difference numerator and denominator have a common factor of 2, so can be reduced to 17/24. The denominator 24 could have been used as the common denominator from the start.
5/6 -1/8 = 20/24 -3/24 = 17/24 . . . . reduced result

Using the <em>least common denominator</em> does not always result in a reduced sum or difference. If some other denominator is used (as here), then you can be assured that the result will need to be reduced to get to lowest terms.
