Chapter 4, Problem 17RP
Explanation of Solution
Explanation:
The table for a maximization problem is given below.
| z | x1 | x2 | x3 | x4 | x5 | ... |
Explanation of Solution
a.
Explanation:
- For the current solution to be optimal, all the non basic variables in row zero have non negative coefficients, so this implies, -c≥0...
Explanation of Solution
b.
Explanation:
- The current solution is optimal and there are alternative optimal solutions, the conditions on the unknown that makes this statement true are b≥0 and c=0.
- This is because if x1 has a zero coefficient in the optimal tableau’s row 0, then the pivot that enters x1 into the basis does not change row zero.
- So all the variables in row zero have positive coefficients...
Explanation of Solution
c.
Explanation:
- An unbounded LP for a maximization problem occurs when a variable with a negative coefficient in row zero has non positive coefficient in each constraint.
- So an LP is unbounded if there exists points in feasible region for which z assumes arbitrarily large values for a maximization problem and arbitrarily small values for a minimization problem...

Solve the following exercise using jupyter notebook for Python, to find the objective function, variables, constraint matrix and print the graph with the optimal solution.
A farm specializes in the production of a special cattle feed, which is a mixture of corn and soybeans. The nutritional composition of these ingredients and their costs are as follows:
- Corn contains 0.09 g of protein and 0.02 g of fiber per gram, with a cost of.$0.30 per gram.- Soybeans contain 0.60 g of protein and 0.06 g of fiber per gram, at a cost of $0.90 per gram.0.90 per gram.
The dietary needs of the specialty food require a minimum of 30% protein and a maximum of 5% fiber. The farm wishes to determine the optimum ratios of corn and soybeans to produce a feed with minimal costs while maintaining nutritional constraints and ensuring that a minimum of 800 grams of feed is used daily.

- Kelvin and Fahrenheit have gotten bored of eating ice cubes, so now they have decided to eat candies instead. Kelvin has X hot candies, and Fahrenheit has Y cold candies. Kelvin and Fahrenheit always want the split of candies to be as fair as possible. The problem is, Kelvin only wants hot candies and Fahrenheit only wants cold candies. Here comes Equilibrium to the rescue! Equilibrium bought an infinite number of candy packs. There are two types of packs: Packs containing exactly C hot candies and Packs containing exactly D cold candies. Equilibrium wants to give some hot candy packs to Kelvin and some cold candy packs to Fahrenheit in such a way that the absolute difference between the number of candies they have is minimized.
