6. A linear programming problem in \(x\) and \(y\) is described as follows.
Maximise \(P = k x + y\), where \(k\) is a constant
subject to: \(\quad 3 y \geqslant x\)
$$\begin{aligned}
x + 2 y & \leqslant 130
4 x + y & \geqslant 100
4 x + 3 y & \leqslant 300
\end{aligned}$$
- Add lines and shading to Diagram 1 in the answer book to represent these constraints. Hence determine the feasible region and label it \(R\).
- For the case when \(k = 0.8\)
- use the objective line method to find the optimal vertex, \(V\), of the feasible region. You must draw and label your objective line and label vertex \(V\) clearly.
- calculate the coordinates of \(V\) and hence calculate the corresponding value of \(P\) at \(V\).
Given that for a different value of \(k , V\) is not the optimal vertex of \(R\),
- determine the range of possible values for \(k\). You must make your method and working clear.
