Try it on paper first. A hint, the key idea and the worked solution are here when you need them.

A region is given by x+y≥5x + y \ge 5x+y≥5, x−y≤3x - y \le 3x−y≤3, x≥0x \ge 0x≥0 and y≥0y \ge 0y≥0. Find its corner points: the lines x+y=5x + y = 5x+y=5 and x−y=3x - y = 3x−y=3 meet in one corner, and the line x+y=5x + y = 5x+y=5 meets the yyy axis in another. Check the other axis intersections against the rules. Say how many corner points there are and whether the region is bounded.

Check your answer

Work it out on paper, then type your number. The answer itself stays hidden.

Need a reminder? The key ideaShowHide

The feasible region is the overlap of the regions of all the constraints, with x≥0x \ge 0x≥0 and y≥0y \ge 0y≥0. It is bounded if a circle can enclose it, and unbounded if it runs on for ever. If the constraints contradict each other, the region is empty.

The worked solution

Have you tried it?

Work it out on paper first. It is fine to get stuck or make a mistake: that is how we learn. When you are ready, go through the solution one step at a time, and check each step against your own.

Step 1. The two slanted lines. Adding x+y=5x + y = 5x+y=5 and x−y=3x - y = 3x−y=3 gives 2x=82x = 82x=8, so x=4x = 4x=4 and y=1y = 1y=1. The point (4,1)(4, 1)(4,1) passes both rules, so it is a corner.

Step 2. The axes. The line x+y=5x + y = 5x+y=5 meets the yyy axis at (0,5)(0, 5)(0,5). There 0−5=−5≤30 - 5 = -5 \le 30−5=−5≤3 is true, so (0,5)(0, 5)(0,5) is a corner. It meets the xxx axis at (5,0)(5, 0)(5,0), but then x−y=5x - y = 5x−y=5 is more than 333, so that point fails. The line x−y=3x - y = 3x−y=3 meets the xxx axis at (3,0)(3, 0)(3,0), but then x+y=3x + y = 3x+y=3 is less than 555, so that point fails. It meets the yyy axis at (0,−3)(0, -3)(0,−3), which has y<0y < 0y<0.

Step 3. Count. The corners are (0,5)(0, 5)(0,5) and (4,1)(4, 1)(4,1): two corner points.

Step 4. Bounded? The point (10,10)(10, 10)(10,10) gives 20≥520 \ge 520≥5 and 0≤30 \le 30≤3, so it is feasible. Moving further along the line y=xy = xy=x stays feasible, so the region is unbounded.

Answer: 222 corner points, at (0,5)(0, 5)(0,5) and (4,1)(4, 1)(4,1), and the region is unbounded.
