solution
feasible region
infeasible region
maximum profit region


2.

3.  

A feasible solution to a linear programming problem

must satisfy all of the problem's constraints simultaneously
need not satisfy all of the constraints, only some of them
must be a corner point of the feasible region
must give the maximum possible profit
