Solve the following linear program using the graphical method and answer all questions. You should submit the picture file of your graphical solution and show your calculations or reasons to answer the questions below. You may consider verifying your solutions and answers by EXCEL (no need to submit your EXCEL verification).
Max 2x1+3x2
s.t
x1+ x210
2x1+ x26
x1+3x224
3x1+ x226
x1, x20
(a) Provide a graphical representation for the above linear program. Identify the optimal solution and the associated optimal objective function value.
(b) Compute the ranges of c1 and c2(one coefficient is fixed at a time) of the objective function coefficients for x1 and x2, for the current optimal solution to remain optimal.
(c) Suppose c1 is increased from 2 to 2.5 and c2 is increased from 3 to 3.5. Will the current optimal solution change?
(d) Suppose c1 is increased from 2 to 2.5. What is the new optimal solution?
(e) Suppose c2 is decreased from 3 to 1. What is the new optimal solution?
(f) Compute the dual prices for constraints 1 and 2 and interpret them. (g) Solve the optimal solution by Gurobi. Write a function to get the range of c1 and c2(one coefficient is fixed at a time) for the current optimal solution to remain optimal. You should get the same answer in (b).
