A look at linear programming, using the simplex method Earlier in the class we were introduced to linear programming and now we are going to introduce a different method using a more geometric version called the simplex method. First, I am going to have to explain theory of the simplex method and then we’ll explain the real world uses of this algebraic math Ok, so earlier in the class we were introduced into liner equations and inequalities. With the simplex method we are going got look for

will now show what the problem looks like: Minimizexi=1mj=1nai,j dj xi,j subject to j=1ndj xi,j≤ci , i=1,…,m i=1m xi,j=1 , j=1,…,n x∈0,1, i=1,…,m , j=1,…, n Now I have formulated the problem, and I will now use a Mixed Integer Linear Programming solver from www.neos-server.org. As I mentioned earlier my code and the whole answer from the website will be in my appendices. With the constraints from the first question I get a minimum cost of: 18951. 37 (ii) In the second question a

& 2) the size of the oven. In addition she believes that she should be able to sell at least the same amount of hot dogs and bbq sandwiches to pizza, and also double the amount of hot dogs to bbq sandwiches. Considering these constraints the linear programming model shows Julia what her profit should be, it will also help Julia decide if she should take out a loan prior to the game opener to successfully operate the booth. It will help here conclude the amount of product she will need to sell to maximize
