Problem 1- (25 marks) Consider the following problem.
Minimize Z = 3x1 + 2x2,
subject to: 2x1 + x2 10 -3x1 + 2x2 6
x1 + x2 6
and x1 0, x2 0.
i) Solve this problem graphically. ( 8 marks)
(ii) Using either the Big M method or two phase method at your discretion: a-Write the proper form of the problem using artificial and surplus variables as needed. (5 marks) b- identify the condition governing the constraints (as ineffective or infeasible) as long as the corresponding artificial variable is not zero (2 marks) c- Solve the problem in tabular form of simplex method and identify the status of each tableau as Feasible (F) or Infeasible (I) (10 marks)
