Im stuck on q6 part 6 and part 7on the June 2013 D2. Link To Paper : http://www.ocr.org.uk/Images/175287-question-paper-unit-4737-01-decision-mathematics-2.pdf

Mark scheme : http://www.ocr.org.uk/Images/176262-mark-scheme-unit-4737-decision-mathematics-2-june.pdf

Can someone explain to me why the answer, p=3/5. In order to get the maximum p value, can you not use the intersection between y=3 and 3p+1. This would give P the value of 2/3 which is bigger tan 3/5.

For the very last question, I just dont understand and would really appreciate someone explaining it to me :smile:
Thanks :smile:

The maximum value of p is the found from the point which is Highest from the bottom. Imagine drawing a perimeter from the bottom and continuing onto to next line as soon as you reach a point of intersection. This is the area that you need to consider and then find the highest of those points.
Yes I understand that, so the highest point is the intersection at E=3 and the line 1+3p. The mark scheme does not say this but instead the line 1+3p and 4-2p. I dont understand this?

It isn't, it's as the mark scheme described. You're looking for the highest point out of the minimum points.

This is the part you should consider and the highest point of these is where 4-2p meets 1+3p
