Question

True or False Questions

1. For an LP with m inequality constraints and n decision variables, its standard form consists of m equality constraints and (m+n) decision variables.

2. For an LP with m inequality constraints and n decision variables, a basic feasible solution to the LP has m basic variables andn nonbasic variables.

3. For an LP with m equality constraints and n decision variables, if n > m, a basic feasible solution to the LP has (n – m) basic variables and m nonbasic variables.

4. A basic feasible solution to an LP corresponds to an extreme point in its feasible region.

LP Multiple Choice Problem

max z =  x1 + 3x2

s.t.      x1 + 2x2 6

         2x1 +  x2 8

          x1, x2 0

For the LP above, which of the following is its standard form?

a.

max z = x1 + 3x2

s.t.    x1 + 2x2 + s1     = 6

       2x1 +  x2    + s2 = 8

        x1, x2, s1, s2 0

b.

max z = x1 + 3x2

s.t.    x1 + 2x2 – e1     = 6

       2x1 +  x2    – e2 = 8

        x1, x2, e1, e2 0

c.

max z = x1 + 3x2

s.t.    x1 + 2x2 + s1     = 6

       2x1 +  x2    – e2 = 8

        x1, x2, s1, e2 0

d.

max z = x1 + 3x2

s.t.    x1 + 2x2 – e1     = 6

       2x1 +  x2     + s2 = 8

        x1, x2, e1, s2 0

max z = x1 + 3x2

s.t.    x1 + 2x2 + s1     = 6

       2x1 +  x2    + s2 = 8

        x1, x2, s1, s2 0

b.

max z = x1 + 3x2

s.t.    x1 + 2x2 – e1     = 6

       2x1 +  x2    – e2 = 8

        x1, x2, e1, e2 0

c.

max z = x1 + 3x2

s.t.    x1 + 2x2 + s1     = 6

       2x1 +  x2    – e2 = 8

        x1, x2, s1, e2 0

d.

max z = x1 + 3x2

s.t.    x1 + 2x2 – e1     = 6

       2x1 +  x2     + s2 = 8

        x1, x2, e1, s2 0

Explanation / Answer

1. For an LP with m inequality constraints and n decision variables, its standard form consists of m equality constraints and (m+n) decision variables. TRUE

2.For an LP with m inequality constraints and n decision variables, a basic feasible solution to the LP has m basic variables andn nonbasic variables. FALSE

3.For an LP with m equality constraints and n decision variables, if n > m, a basic feasible solution to the LP has (n – m) basic variables and m nonbasic variables. TRUE

4.D.max z = x1 + 3x2

s.t.    x1 + 2x2 – e1     = 6

       2x1 +  x2     + s2 = 8

        x1, x2, e1, s2 0
