Here is a link to the actual assignment, in case you don't have it handy:

Note that you need to study Lesson 15 (Linear Programming and Feasibility Regions) and Lesson 16 (The Simplex Method) from my Matrices for Management book to prepare for this assignment.

Don't have my book?  You can download a free sample of my book and audio lectures containing Lessons 1 and  2:

By the "corner point" method, they mean using a graph as I do in Lesson 15.  Be sure to draw a graph and shade the feasibility region to identify the corner points.  Label all the lines you draw on the graph and all the corner points.

Make sure you have studied my strategies for solving Word Problems discussed in Lesson 15 of my book and exemplified by my questions 4 and 5 in the Lecture Problems.  Be sure you clearly define all the variables you use, and don't forget to say x > 0, etc. 

Unlike my examples, they also want you to set up the initial simplex tableau.  They mean the first simplex table, as I illustrate in Lesson 16.  Note that you do not solve the problem.  Just make the very fist simplex table and you are done.

I show you how to perform the Simplex Algorithm in Lesson 16.
