Question: Minimize Z = 2 x 1 + x 2 ( Note that you are minimizing ) subject to x 1 + x 2 = 8

Minimize Z =2x1+ x2(Note that you are minimizing) subject to x1+ x2=8(note the equal sign)
x10, x20
a)(5 pts) Using any method you want indicate the optimal solution.
Next, we consider using the interior point method to solve this problem with initial trial solution (x1, x2)=(4,4).
b)(10 pts) Give the result of first iteration for =0.5?
c)(10 pts) Give the result of second iteration for =0.5?
d)(10 pts) Give the result of first iteration for =0.75?
e)(5 pts) Explain what happens in this problem if we set =1 at any step in the iterative process?
