Question: Consider the following linear program. Min 8 x + 1 2 Y s . t . 1 x + 3 Y 6 2 x +

Consider the following linear program.
Min 8x+12Y
s.t.
1x+3Y6
2x+2Y8
6x+2Y12
x,y0
(a) Use the graphical solution procedure to find the optimal solution.
What is the value of the objective function at the optimal solution?
at(x,n)=(x)
(b) Assume that the objective function coefficient for x changes from 8 to 6. Use the graphical solution procedure to find the new optimal solution.
Does the optimal solution change?
The extreme point (x,n)=(x) optlmal. The value of the objective function becomes optimal solution.
Does the optimal solution change?
The extreme point (x|) optimal. The value of the objective function becomes
(d) The computer solution for the linear program in part (a) provides the following objective coefficient range information.
\table[[Variable,\table[[Objective],[Coefficient]],\table[[Allowable],[Increase]],\table[[Allowable],[Decrease]]],[x,8.00000,4.00000,4.00000],[Y,12.00000,12.00000,4.00000]]
How would this objective coefficient range information help you answer parts (b) and (c) prior to re-solving the problem?
 Consider the following linear program. Min 8x+12Y s.t. 1x+3Y6 2x+2Y8 6x+2Y12
