Question

really need help with this problem and its parts. thanks

2. The number of silk plants (in thousands) that are sold by a chain of discount stores when the plant is (x+ 1) feet tall and the store carries y similar varieties of live plants can be mode led 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 tangent to the constraint function. a. 130 55 100 b. List the outputs of the contours that 85 70 the constraint g touches or crosses. 4 ton115-130 85 21 65 70 40 2 Estimate the value of x, y and f (xy) at the optimal point (the point where the constraint is tangent to the contour) Is the optimal point a constrained maximum or a constrained minimum? d.
