A Simplex Matrix Is Given

question 51

Multiple Choice

A simplex matrix is given. In this case, the solution is complete, so identify the maximum value of f and a set of values for the variables that gives this maximum value. If multiple solutions may exist, indicate this and locate the next pivot.

• A)The maximum value of f is 80 when , And )
• B)The maximum value of f is 80 when , And )
• C)The maximum value of f is 80 when , ) Since multiple solutions are possible, pivot on 2 in R₁C₃.
• D)The maximum value of f is 80 when , ) Since multiple solutions are possible, pivot on 1 in R₁C₄.
• E)The maximum value of f is 80 when , ) Since multiple solutions are possible, pivot on 1 in R₂C₄.
