In the following two problems: Provide the extreme points of the feasible region in the form of (x1 = , x2 = , Z = ) and identify which is the optimum solution. You need not list the origin as an extreme point, because it is a given. List the extreme points of the feasible region and indicate one of the following: (1) the optimal solutoin, (2) multiple optimal solutions, (3) unbounded problem, or (4) no feasible solution. If there is no feasible solution, then there would be no extreme points to show.

1) minimize Z = $3,000x1 + 1,000x2
subject to
60x1 + 20x2 > 1,200
10x1 + 10x2 > 400
40x1 + 160x2 > 2,400
x1, x2 > 0

2) minimize Z = 110x1 + 75x2
subject to
2x1 + x2 > 40
-6x1 + 8x2 > 120
70x1 + 105x1 > 2,100
x1, x2 > 0
