- Which of the following is not a true assumption in continuous linear programming? 1) Selling prices do not change as more resources are sold 2) A decision variable can take integer values. 3) The use of a resource per unit of activity may be greater if less of the activity is produced. 4) the contribution to cost and constraints is directly proportional to the value of the decision variablesarrow_forwardA plumbing repair company has 6 employees and must choose which of 6 jobs to assign each to (each employee is assigned to exactly one job and each job must have someone assigned). How many decision variables will the linear programming model include? How many fixed requirement constraint will the linear programming model include?arrow_forwardIs it possible to describe the concept of optimality in dynamic programming?arrow_forward
- a) Specify whether the following axioms are true or false. An LP problem is an optimization problem for which we do the following: i. We attempt to optimize a linear function of the decision variables. ii. Each constraint must be a linear equation or linear inequality. i. The values of the decision variables must satisfy some sets of constraints.arrow_forwarda)Would profit be maximized if the objective function y=50x_+40xm+20x, was assumed (under the same contraints) for the same problem? Mr. Omar-doh sells sheep during the annual county auction. He wishes to use linear programming to describe his problem and therefore consults the UoN for assistance. Sheep come in three sizes: large, medium, and small. The large sheep (x.) cost Kshs. 3,500 and sell for Kshs.6,000 each; the medium sheep (x.) cost Kshs.3,000 and sell for Kshs.5,000 each; the small sheep (x) cost Kshs. 1,500 and sell for Kshs.2,500 each. Omar-doh must order at least twenty sheep of each type. He can spend no more than Kshs.0.3 million on sheep investment. His space limitations are such that he cannot exceed 60 units of the large and medium sheep combined. He wants to obtain a gross revenue of at least half a million from selling sheep. He further wants to maximize his profits subject to all the constraints above.arrow_forwardTo specify that x1 must be at most 75% of the blend of x1, x2, and x3, what constraint should be included in the optimization model?arrow_forward
- In Exercises 5-8, explain why the linear programming problem is not in standard form as given. 6. (Maximize) Objective function: z = x₁ + x₂ Constraints: x₁ + 2x₂ ≤ 6 2x1 X₂ = -1 > 0 - X₁, X₂ =arrow_forwardProvide an original example of minimization and maximization problems of Linear Programming.arrow_forwardA bakery makes 600 specialty breads—multigrain or herb—each week. Standing orders from restaurants are for 100 multigrain breads and 200 herb breads. The profit on each multigrain bread is $8 and on herb bread, $10. How many breads of each type should the bakery make to maximize profit? How, if at all, do the maximum profit and optimal production policy change if the bakery has no standing orders?arrow_forward
