Consider the nonlinear optimization model stated below. Min 2x²-18x + 2XY + y² 14Y + 51 s.t. X + 4Y ≤7 (a) Find the minimum solution to this problem. at (X, Y) = (b) If the right-hand side of the constraint is increased from 7 to 8, how much do you expect the objective function to change? Based on the dual value on the constraint X + 4Y ≤7, we expect the optimal objective function value to decrease by (c) Resolve the problem with a new right-hand side of the constraint of 8. How does the actual change compare with your estimate? If we resolve the problem with a new right-hand-side of 8 the new optimal objective function value is , so the actual change is a decrease of rather than what we expected in part (b).

Although Burger Dome would like to serve each customer immediately, at times more customers arrive than can be handled by the Burger Dome food service staff.
