Summary Linear programming determines the optimal use of a resource to maximize or minimize a cost. It is based on a mathematical technique that can be used according to the following three methods: a graphic r
By using linear programming, engineers can make more informed decisions, reduce costs, and increase efficiency. Refinery Example LP Problem A refinery must produce 100 gallons of gasoline and 160 gallons of diesel to meet customer demands. The refinery would like to minimize the cost of crude and...
Linear Programming Businesses use linear programming to find out how to maximize profit or minimize costs. Most have constraints on what they can use or buy. Find the minimum and maximum value of the function f(x, y) = 3x - 2y. We are given the constraints: y ≥ 2 1 ≤ x ≤5 y ...
If the linear programming problem is not in the standard form defined by Eq. (3.23) or (3.26), a simple transformation usually suffices. For example, to minimize the objective function y = f (x1,…,xn), we can maximize −y. Most implementations perform these transformations automatically,...

If you were trying to minimize the objective function instead, then the optimal solution would correspond to its feasible minimum. Note that z is linear. You can imagine it as a plane in three-dimensional space. This is why the optimal solution must be on a vertex, or corner, of the ...

Basically, when you want to minimize cost and maximize profit, sometimes the only way to go about doing that accurately is solving it as a linear programming problem. For a great foundation, here is a course called Algebra 1 that introduces basic algebraic skills and principles that would ...
