    Linear Programming is definately the easiest......... Part C can be tricky but it's the exact same every year.

    Last question in paper 2. Oddly enough i'd say its the only question in the whole maths exam where part A is harder than part B but don't let part A put you off... the vast majority of points in the linear programming questions goes towards part B which is simple and repetitive.

    Where exactly are you all stuck on it? It's my best question. I'll (we'll) try and help!
    (Part A can be the trickiest XD, not knowing where the lines go)

    Remember to test for (0, 0) if it's true, put your lines towards (0, 0)
    To get your points, fill in 0=x, (0, ?) and 0=y, (?, 0)
