Linear Programming Quiz

What is the main purpose of linear programming?

• Writing computer code

• Creating graphs

• Maximizing or minimizing a particular outcome

• Solving complex equations

Which field widely uses linear programming for decision-making?

• Music

• Sports

• Medicine

• Engineering

What is the objective function in linear programming?

• A function that creates graphs

• A function that counts the variables

• A function that generates random numbers

• A function that you want to maximize or minimize

What are constraints in linear programming?

• Variables that affect the outcome

• Graphs

• Restrictions or limitations on the decision variables

• Random numbers

What are decision variables in linear programming?

• Variables that are constant

• Variables that are not important

• Variables that affect the outcome of the objective function

• Variables that are random

In the example provided, what is the profit from producing one unit of product A?

• $50

• $60

• $30

• $40

What is the labor constraint in the example?

• 2A + 1B ≤ 80

• 1A + 2B ≤ 100

• A, B ≥ 0

• Maximize profit = 50A + 40B

Which application involves determining the best way to allocate resources?

• Resource Allocation

• Solution Methods

• Diet Problems

• Production Scheduling

What is the Simplex Method used for in linear programming?

• Creating graphs

• Finding the profit from products

• Solving linear programming problems with more than two variables

• Allocating resources

What is the goal of linear programming?

• To complicate decision-making

• To minimize profit

• To ignore constraints

• To optimize outcomes within certain constraints
