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

Big-M method The Big-M method of handling instances with artificial variables is the “common sense approach”. Essentially‚ the notion is to make the artificial variables‚ through their coefficients in the objective function‚ so costly or unprofitable that any feasible solution to the real problem would be preferred....unless the original instance possessed no feasible solutions at all. But this means that we need to assign‚ in the objective function‚ coefficients to the artificial variables that
