Determine whether each of the following statements is true or false, and explain why.
1. The graphical method can be used to solve a linear programming problem with four variables.
Whether the statement“The graphical method can be used to solve a linear programing problem with four variables” is true or false.
Answer to Problem 1RE
The statement is false.
Explanation of Solution
We can graph the linear programing problem with two dimensional variables easily, but linear programing problem with more than two dimensional variables cannot be visualized.
So, it is difficult to graph the functions with more than two variables
Thus, the graphical method is impossible with four or more variables.
Therefore, the statement is false.
