Answer

(1,2): z = 17 (2, 10): z = 70 (7, 5): z = 65 (8, 3): z = 58 The maximum is at (2, 10) and the minimum is at (1, 2)

Work Step by Step

Plug the coordinates into z = 5x + 6y (1,2): z = 5(1) + 6(2) = 17 (2, 10): z = 5(2) + 6(10) = 70 (7, 5): z = 5(7) + 6(5) = 65 (8, 3): z = 5(8) + 6(3) = 58 The greatest value for z is at (2, 10) when it is 70. The smallest value is 17 at (1, 2)
