Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
Create a real-world scenario for a linear programming problem that maximizes profit based on given constraints. Formulate it, graph it, and determine the optimal solution.
💡 Hint: Link your case scenario to something tangible.
Using a set of constraints, set up a problem that would require the Dual Simplex Method to solve, explaining why the primal is infeasible.
💡 Hint: Consider how changes in resources can impact feasibility.
