Question

Thumbs up for help on a-d (one problem). Thanks!

2. The number of silk plants (in thousands) that are sold by a chain of discount stores when the plant is (x1 feet tall and the store carries y similar varieties of live plants can be modeled by fx, y) An inventory and shipping constraint on the silk plants is given by the equation gx, y) 8x+7y-56 feet of height. The constraint is shown on the graph. Sketch in the contour curve that is a. 130 tangent to the constraint function 6 100 b. List the outputs of the contours that the constraint g touches or crosses. 85 70 4 100115-130 2 55 70 Estimate the value of x, y and f (xy) at the optimal point (the point where the constraint is tangent to the contour) c. d. Is the optimal po int a constrained maximum or a constrained minimum?
