Draw the feasible region, including its boundary.

Read the idea, work independently, then explain what changed.

TOPIC 01

2023 JM01

All three inequalities are non-strict, so all edges belong.

Try it. Leave your reasoning visible.

Use one hint at a time. A correction explains what changed, not just the final answer.

01 / Standard#Your turn

Draw the feasible region, including its boundary.

3x+2y≥13,x≤5,2x−2y+3≥03x+2y\ge13,\quad x\le5,\quad2x-2y+3\ge0

Working and explanation

BUILD THE REASONING

Hint 1
Find the pairwise intersections of the boundary lines.
Hint 2
Check which side of each line satisfies the inequality.
Worked solution
  1. Solve for the three vertices.

    A=(2,7/2),B=(5,13/2),C=(5,−1)A=(2,7/2),\quad B=(5,13/2),\quad C=(5,-1)
  2. The region is the closed triangle above y=(13−3x)/2, below y=x+3/2 and left of x=5.

2023 JM01 II.5: closed feasible trianglexyA (2, 7/2)B (5, 13/2)C (5, −1)0

The closed triangle with vertices (2,7/2), (5,13/2), (5,−1).

Checks and common pitfalls: All three inequalities are non-strict, so all edges belong.
