Linear Programming Quiz

These are the limits the company faces, such as limited labor hours, material availability, or budget limits.

• Objective Function

• Constraints

• Feasible Region

• Visual Representation

Show a graph where the constraints form boundaries, and the area where they overlap is the feasible region. This represents all the combinations of labor and materials the company can choose from.

• Objective Function

• Constraints

• Feasible Region

• Visual Representation

A method to optimize (maximize or minimize) a linear objective function subject to linear constraints.

• Linear Programming

• Redundancy

• Alternate Optimal Solution

• Objective Function

A visual method used to solve linear programming problems with two decision variables.
