question 11

Multiple Choice

Suppose that the first goal in a GP problem is to make 3 X₁ + 4 X₂ approximately equal to 36. Using the deviational variables d₁^- and d₁⁺, what constraint can be used to express this goal?

• A)3 X₁ + 4 X₂ + d₁^- -d₁⁺ \(\le\) 36
• B)3 X₁ + 4 X₂ -d₁^- - d₁⁺ = 36
• C)3 X₁ + 4 X₂ + d₁^- + d₁⁺ = 36
• D)3 X₁ + 4 X₂ + d₁^- - d₁⁺ = 36
