Question: 1 . Consider the LP: Maximize z = x + 2 y Subject to 4 x + y < = 4 x + y >

1. Consider the LP: Maximize z = x +2y
Subject to
4x + y <=4
x + y >=1
3x + y <=0
x, y >=0
In both steps below, dont forget to encode the correct objective in the initial tableau, and make sure that objective row in the initial tableau two satisfies tableau properties (ie, all basic variable cols are zero).
(a) Since the non-negative slack variable in the second constraint cannot act as a basic variable, add an artificial variable to that constraint. Now, solve phase one, where the objective is to minimize the sum of artificial variables.
(b) From the final tableau of phase 1, is the original LP feasible or infeasible? If it is feasible, do phase two.
