Exercise III: Maximizing profit I
Assume that a company gets r tons of steel from one provider, and y tons from another
one. Assume that the profit made is then given by the function
P(r, y) = 9x + 8y – 6(x + y).
The first provider can provide at most 5 tons, and the second one at most 3 tons. Finally,
in order not to antagonize the first provider, it was felt it should not provide too small a
fraction, so that r > 2(y – 1).
1. Does P have critical points?
2. Draw the domain of P in the ry-plane.
3. Describe each boundary in terms of only one variable, and give the corresponding
range of that variable, for instance "(r, r²) for r E [1,2]". There can be different
choices.
