Identify the Feasible Region:
The feasible region is the area where all shaded regions overlap, which is a polygon bounded by the x-axis, y-axis, and the two lines. The vertices of this region are the intersection points of the lines.
Find the intersection point of \(x + 2y = 10\) and \(3x + y = 15\):
Multiply the second equation by 2: \(6x + 2y = 30\). Subtract the first equation from this: \(5x = 20\), so \(x = 4\). Substitute \(x = 4\) into the first equation: \(4 + 2y = 10\), so \(2y = 6\) and \(y = 3\). The intersection point is (4, 3).
Determine the vertices of the feasible region:
The vertices are (0, 0), (5, 0), (4, 3), and (0, 5).
Match the vertices to the given options:
Based on the vertices, the correct feasible region is AOEC, where A is (0,0), O is the origin, E is (5,0) and C is (4,3).
Correct Answer: AOEC
