C
D
Correct Answer: A
Choice A is the correct answer. Evaluate the objective function at the vertices of the feasible region.
- Vertices: , , .
- Evaluate at (0,0):
- Evaluate at (5,0):
- Evaluate at (0,5):
- Maximum: The largest value is 15.
?�� Strategic Tip: The maximum/minimum in linear programming always occurs at a vertex (corner point).
Choice B is incorrect because 10 is not the maximum. Choice C is incorrect because no vertex yields 12. Choice D is incorrect because no vertex yields 13.
