Key Concepts

Linear Programming

Linear programming is the study of mathematical methods used to optimize (maximize or minimize) a linear objective function subject to a set of linear equality or inequality constraints. It forms the basis for many decision-making and resource allocation problems in various fields such as economics, engineering, and operations research.

Feasible Region

The feasible region in a linear programming problem is the set of all points that satisfy the given constraints. It represents the set of all possible solutions among which the optimal solution is sought and is typically represented as a convex set in graphical methods.

Graphical Method

The graphical method is a technique used to visualize and solve linear programming problems by plotting the constraints on a coordinate system and identifying the feasible region. This method is particularly useful for problems involving two decision variables, enabling the identification of vertices or corner points where the optimal solution may occur.

Redundant Constraints

Redundant constraints are conditions in a linear programming problem that do not affect the feasible region because they are automatically satisfied by the other constraints. Recognizing these constraints is important as it simplifies the problem without changing the set of potential solutions.

Optimality at Extreme Points

According to the fundamental theorem of linear programming, if an optimal solution exists, it will be found at one of the extreme points (vertices) of the feasible region. Evaluating the objective function at these vertices is essential to determine the minimum and maximum values of the function.

00:02 To solve linear programming problem.

00:06 So we have y xx and xx.

00:12 And the two xxs meet at origin o.

00:16 So we had first to solve the problem we need to graph all the constraints.

00:22 So x is 0 at y xx's and all the values on the right side of y x is is x is greater than equal to 0.

00:33 Then y is greater than equal to 0 is that horizontal x is next we have x is less than equal to 10.

00:43 This is x is less than equal to 10.

00:47 So shade will be on the left side of the vertical line x is equal to 10.

00:56 Next we need to graph x plus y is equal to 7.

01:02 So we need x intercept and y intercept.

01:06 At x intercept y is equal to 0, so x plus 0 is equal to 7 gives x is equal to 7.

01:14 So x intercept is 7.

01:19 Next we have we need y intercept.

01:23 So x is 0 and we are trying to find y so we have y is equal to 7 as y intercept so these are our points now if we join these two points we have our graph but we have x plus y is less than equal to 7 so shade is downwards this is our shade so, y is greater than equal to 0.

02:03 X is less than equal to 10 has no impact on the shade.

02:07 It just says that it is on the left side.

02:11 So our corner points and common shaded region is the yellow region as all the shades lie in the yellow region...
