Plts Optimization C43437
1. **Stating the problem:**
We want to maximize the power output function $$Z = 400X + 300Y$$ where $$X$$ and $$Y$$ represent the number of Monocrystalline and Polycrystalline solar panels respectively.
2. **Constraints:**
The system is subject to the following constraints:
- $$2X + Y \leq 20$$
- $$2X + 3Y \leq 50$$
- $$X, Y \geq 0$$
3. **Understanding the constraints:**
These inequalities define a feasible region where the solution must lie. The first constraint limits the combination of panels based on one resource, and the second constraint limits based on another.
4. **Finding intersection points:**
To find the vertices of the feasible region, solve the system:
$$\begin{cases} 2X + Y = 20 \\ 2X + 3Y = 50 \end{cases}$$
Subtracting the first from the second:
$$2X + 3Y - (2X + Y) = 50 - 20 \Rightarrow 2Y = 30 \Rightarrow Y = 15$$
Substitute $$Y=15$$ into $$2X + Y = 20$$:
$$2X + 15 = 20 \Rightarrow 2X = 5 \Rightarrow X = 2.5$$
5. **Evaluating the objective function at vertices:**
Vertices include:
- $$A(0,0)$$: $$Z = 400(0) + 300(0) = 0$$
- $$B(0, \frac{50}{3} \approx 16.67)$$: Check if feasible, but since $$Y=16.67$$ violates $$2X + Y \leq 20$$ at $$X=0$$, it's outside feasible region.
- $$C(2,15)$$ (integer solution near intersection): $$Z = 400(2) + 300(15) = 800 + 4500 = 5300$$
- $$D(10,0)$$ (from $$2X + Y = 20$$ when $$Y=0$$): $$Z = 400(10) + 300(0) = 4000$$
6. **Optimal solution:**
The integer solution $$X=2$$, $$Y=15$$ yields the maximum power output $$Z=5300$$ watts within the constraints.
**Final answer:**
$$\boxed{X=2, Y=15, Z=5300}$$ watts is the optimal integer solution maximizing power output under given constraints.
