Chapter 3, Problem 1RE
Determine whether each of the following statements is true or false, and explain why.
1. The graphical method can be used to solve a linear programming problem with four variables.
Expert Solution & Answer
To determine
Whether the statement“The graphical method can be used to solve a linear programing problem with four variables” is true or false.
Answer to Problem 1RE
The statement is false.
Explanation of Solution
We can graph the linear programing problem with two dimensional variables easily, but linear programing problem with more than two dimensional variables cannot be visualized.
So, it is difficult to graph the functions with more than two variables
Thus, the graphical method is impossible with four or more variables.
Therefore, the statement is false.

An accountant prepares tax returns for individuals and for small businesses. On average, each individual return requires 3 hours of her time and 1 hour of computer time. Each business return requires 4 hours of her time and 2 hours of computer time. Because of other business considerations, her time is limited to 240 hours, and the computer time is limited to 100 hours. If she earns a profit of 80 on each individual return and a profit of 150 on each business return, how many returns of each type should she prepare to maximize her profit?arrow_forward
