Question
Chapter 4.1, Problem 53E
To determine
Whether the given statement is true or false and give the reason for it.
“Choosing the pivot row by requiring that the ratio associated with that row be the smallest ensures that the iteration will not take us from a feasible point to a non-feasible point.”

You decide to make and sell two different gift baskets at your local outdoor market. Basket A contains 3 cookies, 6 chocolates, and 2 jars of jam and makes a profit of $12. Basket B contains 6 cookies, 3 chocolates, and 2 jars of jam and makes a profit of $15. You have just made 48 cookies, 36 chocolates, and 18 jars of jam. How many of each type of gift basket should you make to maximize the profit? a) State what you assign to x and y. Write the objective function. b) Write the three constraint inequalities. c) Find the axes intercepts of each of the above inequalities.d) Plot the inequalities. Label the solution set. e) How many of each type of gift basket should you make to maximize the profit?
Provide an example to refute the statement below:A basic feasible solution of an LP can be represented as a convex combination of two other feasible solutions.
Just make the linear programming model of the next exercise:
A person wins 10 million dollars in a lottery and is advised to invest in two types of shares, A and B. Type A has more risk but produces a benefit of 10%. Those of type B are safer, but produce only 7% per year. After several deliberations, he decides to invest a maximum of 6 million in the purchase of A shares and, at least, 2 million in the purchase of B shares. Furthermore, he decides that the amount invested in A is at least equal to the amount invested in B. How should you invest 10 million so that the annual benefit is maximum?
Please be as clear as possible showing all the steps

- A division of the Winston Furniture Company manufactures dining tables and chairs. Each table requires 40 board feet of wood and 3 labor-hours. Each chair requires 16 board feet of wood and 4 labor-hours. The profit for each table is $50, and the profit for each chair is $35. In a certain week, the company has 3200 board feet of wood available and 520 labor-hours available. How many tables and chairs should Winston manufacture to maximize its profit?

In order to maximize their profit using these materials on hand, the carpenter has determined that they must build 12 shelves and 29 tables. How many of each of the materials (boxes of screws, 2 ✕ 4's, and sheets of plywood) are leftover, when the carpenter builds 12 shelves and 29 tables?

- Learning psychologist Edward Tolman wanted to determine if mice learned a maze through trial and error or if the developed a “cognitive map” of the maze. Tolman placed a rat in the center of a circular space with 4 alternative corridors. If the rats were truly “guessing” a path, they should try each corridor an equal number of times. However, if the rats were developing a cognitive map, they should go down the far-right corridor more frequently than the others and go directly to the cheese.

Each bookshelf takes one box of screws, two 2 ✕ 4's, and three sheets of plywood to make. Each table takes two boxes of screws, two 2 ✕ 4's, and four sheets of plywood. The carpenter has 55 boxes of screws, 70 2 ✕ 4's, and 115 sheets of plywood on hand. In order to maximize their profit using these materials on hand, the carpenter has determined that they must build 10 shelves and 20 tables. How many of each of the materials (boxes of screws, 2 ✕ 4's, and sheets of plywood) are leftover, when the carpenter builds 10 shelves and 20 tables?

In Plan I, the service connects city A with city B through city C where the rail makes a stop to load or unload passengers. The rail transportation system is assumed to be perfectly symmetrical with respect to direction of travel. The link travel times are 2 hours between each pair of cities in both directions. The time it takes to service the train at each node is 0.5 hours. In the alternative Plan II, the train company considers to stop servicing the smaller city C, in order to provide a better level of service for the users in the city A and city B. According to Plan II, the travel time between the major cities A and B in both directions will be reduced to 3.5 hours. The time it takes to service the train in both city A and city B is still 0.5 hours. Q2 (D) Calculate the travel demand between all pairs of cities for both Plan I and Plan II as well as the corresponding company revenues for all city…arrow_forward
