Suppose we have a linear program in standard equation form
maximize c'x
subject to Ax=b,
x≥ 0.
and suppose u, v, and w are all optimal solutions to this linear program.
(a) Prove that zu+v+w is an optimal solution.
(b) If you try to adapt your proof from part (a) to prove that that u+v+w
is an optimal solution, say exactly which part(s) of the proof go wrong.
(c) If you try to adapt your proof from part (a) to prove that u+v-w is an
optimal solution, say exactly which part(s) of the proof go wrong.
(a) For the following linear programme, sketch the feasible region and the direction
of the objective function. Use you sketch to find an optimal solution to the
program. State the optimal solution and give the objective value for this
solution.
