  2. Linear Programming Learning objectives • I can find the maximum or minimum of an objective function using the moving line approach

  3. Define the unknowns x = y = x = number of hectares of barley y = number of hectare of swedes

  4. Define the constraints Land Cost Man power Land x + y ≤ 20 Cost 30x + 20y ≤ 480 manpower x + 2y ≤ 36

  5. Profit P = P = 100x + 120y

  6. the problem can be summarised as maximise the profit P = 100x + 120y subject to x + y ≤ 20 30x + 20y ≤ 480 x + 2y ≤ 36 x ≥ 0 y ≥ 0

  7. profit P = 100x + 120y the gradient of this line is draw lines parallel to this to find the maximum

  8. this should give you x = 4 and y = 16 maximum profit is 100 x 4 + 120 x 16 = 2320 the farmer should sow 4 acres of barley and 16 acres of swedes

  9. Success Criteria • I can find the maximum or minimum of an objective function using the moving line approach Delta 4.02 page 56
