A feasible region has vertices at (4, 6), (-2, 3), (2, -2), and (3, 1). At which point is the maximum value of the function f(x, y) = 2x + y?
a. f(3, 1)
c. f(4, 6)
b. f(2, -2)
d. f(-2, 3)
To deduce this, plug in each of the vertices points into f(x,y) and see which one spits out the greatest number. It happens that f(4,6)=14 > f(3,1) > f(2,-2) > f(-2,3)
