What is Linear Programming?
Back
Linear Programming is a mathematical method for determining a way to achieve the best outcome in a given mathematical model. Its function is to maximize or minimize a linear objective function, subject to linear equality and inequality constraints.

FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What is an objective function in Linear Programming?
Back
An objective function is a mathematical expression that defines the goal of the linear programming problem, typically to maximize profit or minimize cost.

FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What does the feasible region represent in Linear Programming?
Back
The feasible region is the set of all possible points that satisfy the constraints of a linear programming problem. It is typically represented graphically as a polygon.
4.
FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What are corner points (vertices) in the context of Linear Programming?
Back
Corner points (or vertices) are the points at which the edges of the feasible region intersect. These points are critical for finding the optimal solution.
5.
FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
How do you determine the maximum or minimum value of the objective function?
Back
To determine the maximum or minimum value of the objective function, evaluate the objective function at each corner point of the feasible region and compare the results.

FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What is a constraint in Linear Programming?
Back
A constraint is a condition that must be satisfied in a linear programming problem, typically expressed as a linear inequality or equation.

FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What does the inequality x + y ≤ 8 represent?
Back
The inequality x + y ≤ 8 represents a constraint where the total number of purses (small and big) that Sarah can make in a week cannot exceed 8.
