Refer to Exercise 15. Determine the maximum distance that the man can travel.

Solution:

According to the solution of exercise 15, we have

Maximize , subject to the constraints

(i)

(ii)

Let’s construct a constrain table for the above

Table for (i)

   

Table for (ii)

   

Next, solving (i) and (iii) we obtain
and
It can be seen that the feasible region whose corner points are and .
Let’s evaluate the value of

   

From above table the maximum value of is
So, the maximum distance that the man can travel is at .
