Use the simplex method to maximize the given function. Assume all variables are nonnegative.
Maximize f = 3x + 20y subject to
14x + 7y < 42
5x + 5y < 60.
Step 1
We want to use the simplex method to maximize the function f = 3x + 20y subject to the constraint
inequalities below.
14x + 7y < 42
5x + 5y < 60
We start by converting the inequalities to equations with slack variables.
14x + 7y + s1 = 42
%3D
5x + 5y + S2 = 60
We also need to rewrite the objective function so that all the variables are on the left. This gives us the
following.
-3x -
y + f =
