Test Bank for Chapter 4 Problem 4-1: Work through the simplex method (in algebraic form) step by step to solve the following problem. Maximize Z = x1 + 2x2 + 2x3‚ subject to 5x1 + 2x2 + 3x3 ≤ 15 x1 + 4x2 + 2x3 ≤ 12 2x1 + x3 ≤ 8 and x1 ≥ 0‚ x2 ≥ 0‚ x3 ≥ 0. Solution for Problem 4-1: We introduce x4‚ x5‚ and x6 as slack variables for the respective functional constraints. The augmented form of the problem then is Maximize Z = x1 + 2 x2 + 2 x3‚ subject to

LaTerryan James February 9‚ 2012 Reading Response 2 Eng 3326 Section 001 “Distorted Perception’s: Ralph Ellison’s Invisible Man” Author Ralph Ellison once wrote‚ “I am an invisible man. No‚ I am not a spook like those who hunted Edgar Allan Poe; nor am I one of your Hollywood movie ectoplasms.” Ralph Ellison’s “Invisible Man” is an extremely profound read. Although the entire book explores how perception can be distorted by sight‚ I feel that chapters seven through ten explore this concept

Blindness and self-discovery The search for one’s identity is multi-faceted in its very nature. It is a combination of complex personal‚ ethical and social beliefs resulting from one’s idiosyncratic experiences. Self-discovery is key in reaching one’s true potential but often times it is hindered due to societal oppression and deception. Ralph Ellison’s Invisible Man and Fyodor Dostoyevsky’s Crime and Punishment represent the characters’ struggles to find themselves despite the “difficulties of fulfilling
