The feasible region is, by definition, the set of all points that satisfy every constraint and the non-negativity restrictions at the same time — the common (overlapping) region of all the half-planes.
Why the other options are wrong:
- (A) Satisfying at least one constraint is far too weak — a feasible point must satisfy all of them.
- (B) The objective function is what we optimise over the region; a point does not "satisfy" it, and it does not define the region.
- (D) The region is a solid area, not just its boundary lines; interior points are feasible too.
Only (C) is the correct definition.
Check (independent verification): in Worked Example 5, was feasible because it satisfied both and (and ) — satisfying only one would not have placed it in the region.
✓Final answer
(C) satisfy all the constraints and the non-negativity restrictions simultaneously
