Linear Programming

Sometimes we need to find a minimum or a maximum of linear function that is constrained by a system of inequalities. This activity gives you a basic way to find the minimum value and point.

Here is an example to study. We will graph the constraints, find the corner points, calculate the objective function, and then decide which corner point gives the solution algebraically.
