Solve the LP problems. If no optimal solution exists, indicate whether the feasible region is empty or the objective function is unbounded.
$\quad$ Minimize $c=3 x+y$
subject to $\begin{aligned} & 10 x+20 y \geq 100 \\ & 0.3 x+0.1 y \geq 1 \\ & x \geq 0, y \geq 0 \end{aligned}$

Key Concepts

Linear Programming

Linear programming is a mathematical technique used to determine the best outcome in a problem with linear relationships. It involves optimizing (either maximizing or minimizing) a linear objective function subject to a set of linear constraints, and it is widely utilized in areas such as economics, engineering, and operations research.

Objective Function

The objective function is the linear equation that represents the quantity to be optimized, such as cost, profit, or efficiency. In linear programming, this function is expressed in terms of decision variables and is the primary focus of the optimization process.

Constraints

Constraints in linear programming are linear equations or inequalities that restrict the values that the decision variables can take. They define the limits within which the optimal solution must be found and ensure that the solution is feasible within the context of the problem.

Feasible Region

The feasible region is the set of all points that satisfy the problem's constraints. This region is typically a convex polyhedron, and any potential solution to the linear programming problem must lie within this area.

Optimality and Unboundedness

Optimality refers to the condition where the objective function attains its best possible value (minimum or maximum) within the feasible region. However, if the feasible region is unbounded in a way that allows the objective function to be improved indefinitely, the problem is considered unbounded. Additionally, if no solution satisfies all constraints, the feasible region becomes empty, indicating that the problem has no feasible solution.
