Determine the pivot column and the pivot element, and perform all the row operations for the entire pivot column to obtain the next new tableau. Once you have the new tableau, look at the numbers you have in the objective row and enter each one as requested in each box below. Note: Where applicable, fractions must be entered as 2/5, -1/3, and so on.
Consider the following intermediate tableau (not the Initial Simplex tableau):
| p | x1 | x2 | s1 | s2 | RHS |
| 0 | 1 | 3/2 | 1/2 | 0 | 3 |
| 0 | 3 | 7 | 0 | 1 | 12 |
| 1 | -7 | -12 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
a) Determine the pivot column and the pivot element, and perform all the row operations for the entire pivot column to obtain the next new tableau. Once you have the new tableau, look at the numbers you have in the objective row and enter each one as requested in each box below. Note: Where applicable, fractions must be entered as 2/5, -1/3, and so on.
Under column x1 in the objective row, you have:
Under column x2 in the objective row, you have:
Under column s1 in the objective row, you have:
Under column s2 in the objective row, you have:
Under column RHS in the objective row, you have:
b) Given the new tableau that you obtained above, three interpretations are possible. In the box below, type or copy and paste whichever answer shown in boldface letters below that you think is the correct choice.
1. Enter solved if you think you have obtained the final tableau.
2. Enter ready for another set of pivot operations if you think more pivot operations are possible.
3. Enter no solution if you think the tableau has no solution.
