Let SS be the solid in three-dimensional space consisting of all points (x,y,z)(x,y,z) satisfying the following six simultaneous conditions: x,y,z≥0,  x+y+z≤11,  2x+4y+3z≤36,  2x+3z≤44.x,y,z \geq 0, \; x+y+z\leq 11, \; 2x+4y+3z \leq 36, \; 2x+3z \leq 44. a) Determine the number VV of vertices of S.S. b) Determine the number EE of edges of S.S. c) Sketch in the bcbc -plane the set of points (b,c)(b, c) such that (2,5,4)(2,5,4) is one of the points (x,y,z)(x, y, z) at which the linear function bx+cy+zbx + cy + z assumes its maximum value on S.S.
