Question: A primal linear program has constraints 2 x 1 + x 2 < = 1 0 , x 1 + 2 x 2 < =

A primal linear program has constraints
2x1+ x2<=10,
x1+2x2<=10,x1+2x2<=6, x1,x2>=0.
Figure 1 illustrates the feasible region.
Determine whether the following statements are true or false and justify your answer.
(a)
(b)
One of many possible optimal solutions is (x1,x2)=(2,2), but we cannot be sure if we do not know the objective func- tion.
If the optimal solution of the linear program is at (x1, x2)=(0,0), then the optimal solution of the dual also has all deci-
sion variables equal to zero.
(c) For one given objective, the optimal solution could be at
(x1, x2)=(2,4) and at (x1, x2)=(10/3,10/3).
(d) Depending on the objective, this linear program could be infeasible.
