Update: my professor finally realised that he was wrong. Victory! My grade goes up 1 point. YAY

Thanks for your answer. I am challenging my professor 
It is actually really obvious that either A or J will give you a higher value regardless of what combination of coefficients you use.... as will many non-extreme points within the feasible region. Embarrassing!
If he doesn't increase my grade then perhaps I will challenge him to a duel!

Hi bobbym,
I am afraid that was all the information that was given.

Hi everyone,
I'm doing a unit in quantitative modeling and we jus got the answer sheet for our completed mid semester test. I am no expert at this stuff, but I think my professor has given the wrong answer (!).
This was our question:
The following is a graph of a linear programming problem. The feasible solution is shaded, and the optimal solution is at the point labelled Z*.
This linear programming problem is a(n)
a) Maximization problem
b) Irregular problem
c) Minimization problem
d) Cannot tell from the information given
I would say it's a minimization problem, but the prof is saying maximization.
Can anyone please clarify.
Thank you
