The corner points of the feasible region are O (0, 0), A (4, 0), and B (0, 4).

               The values of Z at these points are as follows:










               Therefore, the maximum value of Z is 16 at the point B (0, 4).


               Example: 2

               Minimize Z = x + 2y

               subject to 2x + y ≥ 3, x + 2y ≥ 6, x ≥ 0, y ≥ 0.
               Solution:
               The feasible region determined by the constraints, 2x + y ≥ 3, x + 2y ≥ 6, x ≥ 0, and y ≥ 0 is as
               follows:


















               The corner points of the feasible region are A (6, 0) and B (0, 3).
