Question 2

Consider the four variables A, B, C and D and a function Z of these variables, Z = 15A2 – 3B4 + C + 0.5D It is given that A, B, C and D must be non-negative integers and thatall of the following relationships must hold:

i) 2A + B ≤ 2

ii) 4A + 2B + C ≤ 12

iii) 3A + 4B + D ≤ 15

If Z needs to be maximised, then what value must D take?
