Solution:

Let x = number of hectares planted with rice Units of Units of Average

y = number of hectares planted with corn Hectares Insecticide Fertilizer Profit
x 4x 2x 15,000x
Formulating the objective function and constraints: y 3y 6y 10,000y

Maximize Profit: 15,000x + 10,000y (objective)

Finding the Optimum Solution

Virtices Objective: 15,000x + 10,000y

A (0, 40) 15,000 (0) + 10,000 (40) = 0 + 400,000 = 400,000
B (0, 30) 15,000 (0) + 10,000 (30) = 0 + 300,000 = 300,000
C (10, 16.67) 15,000 (10) + 10,000 (16.67) = 150,000 + 166,700 = 316,700
D (30, 10) 15,000 (30) + 10,000 (10) = 450,000 + 100,000 = 550,000

Therefore, the farmer should plant 30 hectares of rice and 10 hectares of corn to maximize his profit,
which is 550,000 pesos.
Checking whether the solution is correct:

First constraint:

x + y ≤ 40

30 + 10 ≤ 40

40 ≤ 40

This means that the farm has 40 hectares, and the en re 40 hectares must be used.

Second constraint:

4x + 3y ≥ 90

4 (30) + 3 (10) ≥ 90

120 + 30 ≥ 90

150 ≥ 90

This means that the farmer has at least 90 units of insec cide available, he needs to use 150 units of it.

Third constraint:

2x + 6y ≥ 120

2 (30) + 6 (10) ≥ 120

60 + 60 ≥ 120

120 ≥ 120

This means that the farmer has at least 120 units of fer lizer available, he needs to use all these 120 units.
