Linear programming is amathematical modeling technique in which a linear function is maximized or minimized when subjected to various constraints. Linear programming is often used when seeking the optimal solution to a problem, given a set of constraints. To find the optimum result, real-life problems are translated into mathematical models to conceptualize linear inequalities and their constraints better.

• How can minimization and maximization of a linear function be effective for a company?
• Using at least a business as a basis, show how this can help the company achieve its goal of profitability.
