The basic variable from the basic solution (B) given in the table.
Answer to Problem 1RE
In basic solution (B), the basic variables are
Explanation of Solution
The given linear equations are:
The given table of six basic solutions to the e-system is:
(A) | 0 | 0 | 32 | 14 |
(B) | 0 | 6.4 | 0 | 1.2 |
(C) | 0 | 7 | –3 | 0 |
(D) | 16 | 0 | 0 | –2 |
(E) | 0 | 0 | ||
(F) | 0 | 0 |
The classification of variables are basic or non-basic depends on the basic solution. For the non-basic variable zero is assigned and basic variables have non-zero values.
The basic solution (B) of above table shows the basic solution
Hence, for (B), the basic variables are
