Question: Min 6 x 1 + 9 x 2 ( cost ) S . T . x 1 + 2 x 2 < 8 - -

Min 6x1+9x2(cost)
S.T.
x1+2x2<8-----constraint 1
10 x1+7.5 x2>30----constraint 2
x2>2------constraint 3
x1, x2>0
a. What is the optimal solution including the optimal value of the objective function?
b. Suppose the unit cost of is x1decreased to $4. Is the above solution still optimal? What
is the value of the objective function when this unit cost is decreased to $4?
c. How much can the unit cost of x2 be decreased without concern for the optimal solution
changing?
d. If the right hand side of constraint 3 is increased by 1, what will be the effect on objective
function?
