If the maximum value of x+y on the set {(x,y)∣x≥0,y≥0,x+5y≤10,5x+y≤a2−5} is 5, then the value of a=…
Given the system of inequalities:
We can sum the two main inequalities to find the bound for x+y:
It is given that the maximum value of x+y is 5. Therefore, we substitute this maximum value into the inequality:
Thus, the value of a is:
(We take the positive value since the options are positive).
So, the value of a is 5.
