Question: Consider the following linear programming problem. Min 2A + 3B s.t. 1A + 4B 21 2A + 1B 7 3A + 1.5B 21 2A +
Consider the following linear programming problem.
| Min | 2A + 3B | ||
| s.t. | |||
| 1A + 4B | 21 | ||
| 2A + 1B | 7 | ||
| 3A + 1.5B | 21 | ||
| 2A + 6B | 0 | ||
| A, B 0 |
(a) Find the optimal solution using the graphical solution procedure and the value of the objective function.
_______ at (A, B) = (_______)
(b) Determine the amount of slack or surplus for each constraint.
slack for 1A + 4B 21 =
surplus for 2A + 1B 7 =
slack for 3A + 1.5B 21 =
surplus for 2A + 6B 0 =
(c) Suppose the objective function is changed to max 7A + 3B. Find the optimal solution and the value of the objective function.
________ at (A, B) = (_______)
