Solve these problems using graphical linear programming and answer the questions that follow. Use simultaneous equations to
determine the optimal values of the decision variables.
a. Maximize ,Z=4x1+3x2
Subject to
Material 6x1+4x248 lb
Labor ,4x1+8x280 hour
x1,x20
What are the optimal values of the decision variables and Z?
Do any constraints have (nonzero) slack? If yes, which one(s) and how much slack does each have?
None of the constraints have any slack. Both constraints are binding.
The first constraint has a slack of 10.
The second constraint has a slack of 15.
Do any constraints have (nonzero) surplus? If yes, which one(s) and how much surplus does each have?
None of the constraints have any surplus.
The first constraint has a surplus of 15.
The second constraint has a surplus of 20.
