(1) (H&L 4.2-1.) Consider the linear programming

(1) (H&L 4.2-1.) Consider the linear programming model max 2 = 4500.x1 + 4500.x2 subject to 21 22 0, x2 > 0. (a) Introduce slack variables in order to write the functional constraints in augmented form. (b) For each CPF solution, identify the corresponding BF solution by calculating the values of the slack variables. For each BF solution, use the values of the variables to identify the nonbasic variables and the basic variables. (c) For each BF solution, demonstrate (by plugging in the solution) that, after the nonbasic variables are set equal to zero, this BF solution also is the simultaneous solution of the system of equations obtained in part (a)
