To minimize \( C = 3m + n \) with the constraints \( m + n \geq 3 \), \( 2m \geq 5 \), \( m \geq 0 \), and \( n \geq 0 \), set \( m = 2.5 \) and \( n = 0.5 \). This gives the minimum cost \( C = 8 \).

Solución

1. Express the constraints: - \( m+n \geq 3 \) - \( 2m \geq 5 \) which means \( m \geq 2.5 \) - \( m \geq 0 \) - \( n \geq 0 \) 2. Since \( m \geq 2.5 \), the constraint \( m+n \geq 3 \) implies \[ n \geq 3 - m. \] For \( m = 2.5 \), this gives \[ n \geq 3 - 2.5 = 0.5. \] 3. The objective is to minimize \( C = 3m + n \). In many linear programming problems, the minimum occurs at a vertex of the feasible region. One vertex is at the intersection of \( m = 2.5 \) and \( m+n = 3 \). 4. At \( m = 2.5 \) and \( n = 0.5 \): \[ C = 3(2.5) + 0.5 = 7.5 + 0.5 = 8. \] 5. Check another candidate: if \( n = 0 \) then from \( m+n \geq 3 \), we need \( m \geq 3 \). At \( m = 3 \) and \( n = 0 \), \[ C = 3(3) + 0 = 9, \] which is greater than 8. 6. Therefore, the minimum value is found at \( m = 2.5 \) and \( n = 0.5 \) with \[ \text{Minimum Cost } C = 8. \] Thus, the solution is \( m = 2.5 \), \( n = 0.5 \), and \( C = 8 \).

Bonus Knowledge

First additional information: To visualize the constraints and the feasible region, you can plot the inequalities on a coordinate system. The line \( m+n=3 \) can be graphed by finding intercepts: when \( m=0 \), \( n=3 \) and when \( n=0 \), \( m=3 \). The second inequality \( 2m=5 \) simplifies to \( m=2.5 \), a vertical line on the graph. Don’t forget the non-negativity constraints, which restrict our values to the first quadrant. This will help you easily identify the corner points where the minimum may occur! Second additional information: Once you've plotted the feasible region, you can evaluate the corners where the constraints intersect. These could be key to your solution. Compute the cost \( C=3m+n \) at each corner point, which could include \( (0,3) \), \( (2.5,0) \), and the intersection of \( m+n=3 \) with \( m=2.5 \), leading to the point \( (2.5,0.5) \). Calculate \( C \) at each point. The smallest value you find will be your minimum cost, giving you an optimal solution to the problem!
