Example 2: Maximize or minimize each objective function . 4. Maximize P = 10 x + 16 y for the constraints from Exercise 1.

5. Minimize P = 3 x + 5 y for the constraints from Exercise 2.

6. Maximize P = 2.4 x + 1.5 y for the constraints from Exercise 3.

Example 3: 7.  Dr. Lee’s dentist practice is open for 7 hours each day. His receptionist schedules appointments, allowing 1 2 hour for a cleaning and 1 hour to fill a cavity. He charges $40 for a cleaning and $95 for a filling. Dr. Lee cannot do more than 4 fillings per day. Find the number of each type of appointment that maximizes Dr. Lee’s income for the day.
