Solve the below problem using graphical linear programming and answer the questions that follow. Use simultaneous equations to determine the optimal values of the decision variables.
Maximize Z = 2x1 + 10x2 Subject to
Durability 10x1 + 4x2 40 week
Strength 1x1 + 6x2 24 psi
Time 1x1 + 2x2 14 hour
x1, x2 0
- What are the optimal values of the decision variables and Z? (Round to 2 decimal places.)
- Do any constraints have (nonzero) slack? If yes, which one(s) and how much slack does each have?
- Do any constraints have (nonzero) surplus? If yes, which one(s) and how much surplus does each have?
- Are any constraints redundant? If yes, which one(s)?
