Yes, because the maximum of

No, because the maximum is at the origin
Yes, because

No, because

← A student finds the two corners (5, 0) and (0, 5) of the region x + y ≥ 5, x ≥ 0, y ≥ 0. The student wants to minimise Z = x + 2y. What is the correct conclusion?
A region has corners (0, 0), (6, 0), (6, 2), (3, 5) and (0, 5). The objective is Z = x + y, to be maximised. Which statement is correct? →
