Let (a1, b1),..., (an, bn) be n points in the plane R2. Supopse we are trying to find a line L with equation y = ax + ẞ, such that the sum of the vertical distances from the points. (ai, bi) to L is minimized. We set up the following piecewise linear convex problem: n min|aar + B = bi| α,β i=1 Note that here a, ẞ are the variables and that they are free variables.

Formulate but do not solve the following exercise as a linear programming problem. A financier plans to invest up to $400,000 in two projects. Project A yields a return of 10% on the investment of x dollars, whereas Project B yields a return of 13% on the investment of y dollars. Because the investment in Project B is riskier than the investment in Project A, the financier has decided that the investment in Project B should not exceed 40% of the total investment. How much should she invest in each project to maximize the return on her investment P in dollars? MaximizeP= subject to the constraints ? amount available for investment? allocation of funds?
Formulate a linear programming problem that can be used to solve the following question. An airline has three types of airplanes and has contracted with a tour group to provide transportation for a minimum of 70 first-class, 52 tourist, and 108 economy-class passengers. The first plane costs $4100 for the trip and can accommodate 36 first-class, 16 tourist, and 18 economy-class passengers; the second plane costs $4800 for the trip and can accommodate 8 first-class, 10 tourist, and 42 economy-class passengers; the third plane costs $6300 for the trip and can accommodate 18 first-class, 36 tourist, and 16 economy-class passengers. How many of each type of airplane should be used to minimize the operating cost? X = ---Select--- y = ---Select--- ---Select--- Z |||| ---Select--- | F = AC UB Subject to X ---Select--- 0, y ---Select--- (objective function) (first-class passengers) (tourist passengers) (economy-class passengers) 0, z ---Select--- 0 (nonnegativity constraint)
Hugh and his partners grow tomatoes exclusively. Although they grow many varieties, tomatoes are all that they produce for leading supermarket chains in the UK. Should they diversify into related products such as lettuce? Write a summary report, focusing on the objective function, constraints, and decision variables that are used for Linear Programming.

Formulate but do not solve the following exercise as a linear programming problem.A company manufactures x units of Product A and y units of Product B, on two machines, I and II. It has been determined that the company will realize a profit of $3 on each unit of Product A and $5 on each unit of Product B. To manufacture a unit of Product A requires 5 min on Machine I and 5 min on Machine II. To manufacture a unit of Product B requires 9 min on Machine I and 5 min on Machine II. There are 269 min available on Machine I and 205 min available on Machine II in each work shift. How many units of a product should be produced in each shift to maximize the company's profit P in dollars? Maximize P = subject to the constraints Machine I Machine II x ≥ 0 y ≥ 0
Formulate a linear programming problem that can be used to solve the following question. An individual needs a daily supplement of at least 380 units of vitamin C and 64 units of vitamin E and agrees to obtain this supplement by eating two foods, I and II. Each ounce of food I contains 34 units of vitamin C and 4 units of vitamin E, while each ounce of food II contains 20 units of vitamin C and also 12 units of vitamin E. The total supplement of these two foods must be at most 29 ounces. Unfortunately, food I contains 22 units of cholesterol per ounce and food II contains 32 units of cholesterol per ounce. Find the appropriate amounts of the two food supplements so that cholesterol is minimized. X = ---Select--- y = --Select--- ---Select--- | F = Subject to (objective function) (total ounces of food) (units of vitamin C) (units of vitamin E) x ---Select--- 0, y ---Select--- 0 (nonnegativity constraint)
