Q.1. What is a linear programming problem ? Discuss the steps and role of linear programming is solving management problems. Discuss and describe the role of liner programming in managerial decision-making bringing out limitations‚ if any. Ans : Linear Programming is a mathematical technique useful for allocation of scarce or limited resources to several competing activities on the basis of given criterion of optimality. The usefulness of linear programming as a tool for optimal decision-making

role in fomenting innovation in information technology. A recent study by Greenwood and Jovanovic [1999] provide one dramatic illustration of these trends. These authors show that a group of “IT upstarts”—firms specializing in computer and communications technologies that went public after 1968—now account for over 4% of the total U.S. equity market capitalization. While some of this growth has come at the expense of incumbent information technology firms‚ the new market value and technological

Aaron Griffin Math 4091A March 17‚ 2015 The Cartesian Coordinate System Linear inequalities (statements such as “4≤X+10<18”) can be represented graphically along a number line. In similar manner‚ a linear equation in two variables (this being the form ax+by=c) can also be represented graphically‚ using two axes; the x axis‚ the horizontal plane‚ and the y axis‚ the vertical plane. There are memory tricks with which to distinguish the x from the y axis and remember their horizontal and vertical

Jasmine Chai Grade 10 196298501 Patterns within systems of linear equations Systems of linear equations are a collection of linear equations that are related by having one solution‚ no solution or many solutions. A solution is the point of intersection between the two or more lines that are described by the linear equation. Consider the following equations: x + 2y = 3 and 2x – y = -4. These equations are an example of a 2x2 system due to the two unknown variables (x and y) it has. In one of

popular rational comprehensive model or “the Root”‚ should be aware by modern policy makers. He thinks that the Muddling Through can help solve any complicated problems while confirms that the rational model can’t do that. Lindrom provides two scales representing the rational comprehensive method s and the successive limited comparisons – rational model aims to achieve perfect policy while the root targets to relative policy - ‚ and then to protect his argument‚ he refutes a model of the root with step-by-step

❶AGE PROBLEM In three more years‚ Miguel’s grandfather will be six times as old as Miguel was last year. When Miguel’s present age is added to his grandfather’s present age‚ the total is68. How old is each one now? This exercise refers not only to their present ages‚ but also to both their ages last year and their ages in three years‚ so labelling will be very important. I will label Miguel’s present age as "m" and his grandfather’s present age as "g". Then m + g = 68. Miguel’s age "last year"
