3 -4 Linear Programming Green roofs are covered with plants instead of traditional materials like concrete or shingles to help lower heat and improve air quality. The plants landscape architects choose might depend on the price, the amount of water they require, and the amount of carbon dioxide they absorb. Holt Algebra 2

3 -4 Linear Programming Linear programming is method of finding a maximum or minimum value of a function that satisfies a given set of conditions called constraints. A constraint is one of the inequalities in a linear programming problem. The solution to the set of constraints can be graphed as a feasible region. Holt Algebra 2

3 -4 Linear Programming Example 1: Graphing a Feasible Region Yum’s Bakery bakes two breads, A and B. One batch of A uses 5 pounds of oats and 3 pounds of flour. One batch of B uses 2 pounds of oats and 3 pounds of flour. The company has 180 pounds of oats and 135 pounds of flour available. Write the constraints for the problem and graph the feasible region. Holt Algebra 2

3 -4 Linear Programming Example 1 Continued Let x = the number of bread A, and y = the number of bread B. Write the constraints: x≥ 0 y≥ 0 The number of batches cannot be negative. 5 x + 2 y ≤ 180 The combined amount of oats is less than or equal to 180 pounds. 3 x + 3 y ≤ 135 The combined amount of flour is less than or equal to 135 pounds.

3 -4 Linear Programming In most linear programming problems, you want to do more than identify the feasible region. Often you want to find the best combination of values in order to minimize or maximize a certain function. This function is the objective function. The objective function may have a minimum, a maximum, neither, or both depending on the feasible region. Holt Algebra 2
