a) What is the optimal solution to this problem? Solve it graphically.

b) If a technical breakthrough occurred that raised the profit per unit of X1 to $3, would this affect the optimal solution?

c) Instead of an increase in the profit coefficient X1 to $3, suppose that profit was overestimated and should only have been $1.25. Does this change the optimal solution?
