Consider the following problem. Maximize Z = 2x1 + 4x2 + 3x3, subject to and x1

Question:

Consider the following problem.
Maximize Z = 2x1 + 4x2 + 3x3,
subject to
Consider the following problem.Maximize Z = 2x1 + 4x2 +

and
x1 ‰¥ 0, x2 ‰¥ 0, x3 ‰¥ 0.

You are given the information that x1 > 0, x2 = 0, and x3 = 0 in the optimal solution.

(a) Describe how you can use this information to adapt the simplex method to solve this problem in the minimum possible number of iterations (when you start from the usual initial BF solution). Do not actually perform any iterations.

(b) Use the procedure developed in part (a) to solve this problem by hand. (Do not use your OR Courseware.)
