Suppose That the First Goal in a GP Problem Is

question 39

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⁺, the following constraint can be used to express this goal. 3 X₁ + 4 X₂ + d₁^- - d₁⁺ = 36
If we obtain a solution where X₁ = 6 and X₂ = 2, what values do the deviational variables assume?

• A)d₁^- = 0, d₁⁺ = 10
• B)d₁^- = 10, d₁⁺ = 0
• C)d₁^- = 5, d₁⁺ = 5
• D)d₁^- = 6, d₁⁺ = 0
