\textbf{Question}

$F(x,y,z)=2x+3y+4z$

Minimize $F$, subject to
\begin{eqnarray*}
x &amp; \ge &amp; 0\\
y &amp; \ge &amp; 0\\
z &amp; \ge &amp; 0\\
x + y &amp; \ge &amp; 2\\
y + z &amp; \ge &amp; 2\\
x + z &amp; \ge &amp; 2
\end{eqnarray*}


\textbf{Answer}

The constraint region has vertices $(1,1,1)$, $(2,2,0)$, $(2,0,2)$ and
$(0,2,2)$.

This gives
$$F(1,1,1)=9, \ \ \ F(2,2,0)=10,\ \ \ F(2,0,2)=12, \ \ \ F(0,2,2)=14$$
And so the minimum value of $F$ under the given constraints is $F=9$.
