Question

1.All of the following are true concerning Nonlinear Programming models or problems except:

a.unlike a Linear Programming model, a Nonlinear Programming model can contain decision variables of a higher order (i.e. x2 or x3).

2. One potential method for determining a solution for a Nonlinear Programming model is to search a solution surface for maximum or minimum values.

3. For the altered Beaver Creek Pottery example that begins on slide 10-16 of the chapter slides:

4. Excel/Solver cannot be used to derive solutions for Nonlinear Programming problems.

5. Rather than having a linear profit function like the one shown on slide 10-4 of the chapter slides, suppose we have a nonlinear profit function like the one shown on slides 10-5 and 10-6 of the chapter slides. Which of the following statements is true?

6. Though sometimes difficult to solve, Nonlinear Programming problems provide a more realistic approach to business modeling since real-world problems are typically not linear, i.e. quantity discounts, learning curves, etc.

7. All of the following are true concerning the distance calculation formula shown on slide 10-26 except:

a. this formula calculates the straight-line distance between two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2).

b. this formula is actually linear since the straight-line distance between to points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) is being calculated.

c. this formula is non-linear given it contains x2 terms and a square-root term.

8. There are some nonlinear programming models/problems for which no known solution method currently exists.

9. For nonlinear programming models, all local optimums are also global optimums by definition.

10. Consider the Nonlinear Programming Example-Facility Layout spreadsheet provided under the Files tab on the class website on Canvas. Which of the following statements is true?

a.unlike a Linear Programming model, a Nonlinear Programming model can contain decision variables of a higher order (i.e. x2 or x3).

Explanation / Answer

Answer of question (1)

Here only statment that is false is statement given in second option b, that this method is straightforward and easy as it really a tedious process, solving such system.

So its correct answer is option b.
