Question: You are given the following linear programming model in algebraic form, with x1 and x2 as the decision variables: Minimize Cost = 40x1 + 50x2
- You are given the following linear programming model in algebraic form, with x1 and x2 as the decision variables:
Minimize Cost = 40x1 + 50x2
Subject to:
Constraint 1: 2x1 + 3x2 30
Constraint 2: x1 + x2 12
Constraint 3: 2x1 + x2 20
And
x1 0 x2 0
1a. Use the graphical method to solve this model.
1b. Hoe does the optimal solution change if the objective function is changed to Cost= 40x1 + 70x2?
1c. How does the optimal solution change if the third functional constraint is changed to 2x1 + x2 15?
1d. What is Constraint 2 in the original problem called? And why?
1e. How does the optimal solution change if the objective function changed to MAXIMIZE cost = 40x1 +50x2?
1f. How does the optimal solution change if a new constraint (2x1 + 4x2 16) added to the original problem?
1g. How does the optimal solution change if the objective function is changed to MINIMIZE cost = 10x1 + 15x2?
