This type of problem is known as distribution or transportation problem in which the key idea is to minimize the cost or the time of transportation. In previous lessons we have considered a number of specific linear programming problems. Transportation problems are also linear programming problems and can be solved by simplex method but because of practical significance the transportation problems are of special interest and it is tedious to solve them through simplex method. Is there any alternative

Linear Functions There are three different ways to write linear functions. They are slope-intercept‚ point-slope‚ and standard form. There are certain situations where it is better to use one way than another to solve a problem. It is important to understand and comprehend the mechanics of these three forms so that you know what form to use when solving a problem. The first form‚ point-slope‚ is written as y-y1=m(x-x1). M is the slope and x1 and y1 correspond to a point on the line. It’s good to

Plots Linear regression is a crucial tool in identifying and defining key elements influencing data. Essentially‚ the researcher is using past data to predict future direction. Regression allows you to dissect and further investigate how certain variables affect your potential output. Once data has been received this information can be used to help predict future results. Regression is a form of forecasting that determines the value of an element on a particular situation. Linear regression

Describe the payout policy of Linear Technologies historically. Describe Linear’s current cash position and its financing needs. The company initiated its dividend in 1993 with a relatively conservative payout ratio of 15%‚ based on a quarterly dividend of $0.05/share/quarter ($0.00625 split adjusted as per Exhibit 3). As of 3Q2003‚ the dividend is also $0.05/share/quarter‚ adjusted for stock splits‚ which translates into a payout ratio of . The payout ratio is currently 27.5% on an as adjusted
