Q7. [7 POINTS] Consider the linear program given below: max{2x1 + 5x2} s.t. { x1 + x2 ? 3 x1 ? 2 x2 ? 2 x1, x2 ? 0 } (a) Draw the feasible region (in a fairly large and well-scaled diagram). Determine the coordinates of each vertex of the feasible region and label them on your diagram using names like O, P, Q, etc. Hint: the feasible region has 5 vertices. (b) Use the Simplex Method to solve this linear program. Explicitly mention if you need to introduce any slack or artificial variables and explain any relevant details. Each time your tableau is in RRREF, state the current solution and identify where you will create the next pivot, or else explain why the algorithm should stop and what you conclude about the optimal solution.

Step 1

Now we can plot the feasible region by graphing the three equations: T1 + 82 + s1 = 3I1 -2I1 + T2 + s2 = 2 211I1 + 502I2 + s3 = 0 The feasible region is the set of points that satisfy all three inequalities. It turns out that the feasible region is a pentagon Show more…
