Answer

(3, 2): z = 13 (4, 10): z = 32 (5, 12): z = 39 (7, 4): z = 29 (8, 6): z = 36 Maximum is at (5, 12). Minimum is at (3, 2)

Work Step by Step

Plug coordinates into z = 3x + 2y (3, 2): 3(3) + 2(2) = 13 (4, 10): 3(4) + 2(10) = 32 (5, 12): 3(5) + 2(12) = 39 (7, 4): 3(7) + 2(4) = 29 (8, 6): 3(8) + 2(6) = 36 The greatest value for z is at (5, 12) when z is 39. The smallest value is 13 at (3, 2)
