Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
Consider an LP problem with constraints: 4x + 2y ≤ 16, x + y ≤ 7. If the objective function is Z = 2x + 3y, find the optimal solution graphically.
💡 Hint: Focus on evaluating the objective function at each vertex.
If the constraints change to x + 2y ≤ 10, 2x + y ≤ 10, how does this affect the optimal solution compared to the previous constraints?
💡 Hint: Be aware of how changing constraints can alter the feasible region.
