Question: Consider the following problem. Maximize Z = 2 x 1 + 7 x 2 3 x 3 , subject to x 1 + 3 x
Consider the following problem.
Maximize Z xxx
subject to
xxx
xx x
and
x x x
By letting x and x be the slack variables for the respective con
straints, the simplex method yields the following final set of
equations:
Z x x
x
xx x x
xx x
x
Now you are to conduct sensitivity analysis by independently in
vestigating each of the following seven changes in the original
model. For each change, use the sensitivity analysis procedure to
revise this set of equations in tableau form and convert it to
proper form from Gaussian elimination for identifying and evalu
ating the current basic solution. Then test this solution for feasibil
ity and for optimality. If either test fails, reoptimize to find a new
optimal solution.
a Change the righthand sides to
b
