The value of the optimal solution to the revised problem is 8(2.5) + 12(2.5) = 50. Compared to the original problem‚ the value of the optimal solution has increased by 50 48 = 2. Thus‚ the dual value is 2. c. The right-hand side range for constraint 1 is 5 to 11. As long as the right-hand side stays within this range‚ the dual value of 2 is applicable. Since increasing

Example: t^8−81 This is a difference of squares. (t^4+9)(t^4−9) The factor(t^4−9) is also a difference of squares. (t^4+9)(t2+3)(t^2−3) Even though there are even powers here‚ these are not special products so this is factored completely. Example: 3w^2+15w+18 This has a GCF of 3. 3(w^2+5w+6) The trinomial can be factored by looking for factors of 6 that add up to 5. 3(w+3)(w+2) This is completely factored. 03.02LessonSummary To achieve
