Question

Consider the following linear program:
maximize z = −x1 − x2 − 4x3 − 7x4 (1)
s.t. x1 + x2 + 5x3 + 2x4 = 8 (2)
2x1 + x2 + 8x3 = 14 (3)
x1, x2, x3, x4 ≥ 0


(a) The variables x1 and x2 can serve as basic variables for a basic feasible solution.
Show by pivoting on x1 and x2 the problem is equivalent to:
maximize z with:
x1 + +3x3 − 2x4 = 6
x2 + 2x3 + 4x4 = 2
x3 − 5x4 = 8 + z

(b) Decide which variable should enter the basis to increase the value of z and then
show that the basic variable to depart is x2. 


(c) Perform the pivot operation to replace x2 with your entering variable. Show that
the maximal value of the objective function is −7 and determine which point it is
achieved at.
