Detailed Solution

Given function is,

z=4x+6y

At each point,

z(0,2)=4(0)+6(2)z(0,2)=12z(3,0)=4(3)+6(0)z(3,0)=12

and z(6,0)=4(6)+6(0)

z(6,0)=24z(6,8)=4(6)+6(8)z=24+48z(6,8)=72

and z(0,5)=4(0)+6(5)

i.e. z(0,5)=30

Therefore, min z occur at (0, 2) and (3, 0)

So we get the minimum value of Z occur at (0, 2) and (3, 0).
