Question: Solve the following linear programming model graphically: Maximize 2x1 + 4x2 Subject to: c1: 2x1+x2 0 c2: 2x1+2x2 50 c3: 4x1+x2 145 c4: x1 30
Solve the following linear programming model graphically:
Maximize 2x1 + 4x2
Subject to: c1: 2x1+x2 0
c2: 2x1+2x2 50
c3: 4x1+x2 145
c4: x1 30
x1,x2 0
-
(a) Create a graph clearly showing the feasible region.
-
(b) Find the optimal decision variables and calculate the objective function value. Which constraints are binding?
-
(c) The decision variable x1 is known to change over time. What is the maximum value x1 can grow before the optimum point found in part (b) stops being optimum?
-
(d) Constraint c4 represents the availability of a resource. A contractor com- pany has offered to supply extra 10 units of that resource. Should it be accepted?
-
(e) Suppose both x1 and x2 are constrained to be integer numbers. What are the new optimal decision variables and the new optimum function value?
