Question: Consider the following LP: maxz = x 1 + 2 x 2 s . t . 3 x 1 - x 2 5 2 x

Consider the following LP:
maxz=x1+2x2
s.t.3x1-x25
2x1+x26
x10,x2 urs
(a)(3 points) Find the dual of the LP.
(b)(5 points) At optimality, we know that x1**>0 and x2**>0. Use complementary slackness to find the optimal dual solution.
(c)(2 points) Based on the answer in part (b), how much would you be willing to pay for an additional unit of resource in the second constraint?
Hint: Assume that the primal LP is a maximization problem and the dual LP is a minimization problem. Then we have the following rules for obtaining the dual:
\table[[Primal,Dual],[Equality constraint,Unrestricted-sign variable],[Inequality constraint )(,Nonnegative variable],[Unrestricted-sign variable,Equality constraint],[Nonnegative variable,Inequality constraint )(
 Consider the following LP: maxz=x1+2x2 s.t.3x1-x25 2x1+x26 x10,x2 urs (a)(3 points)
