Multiple Choice

A linear programming problem contains a restriction that reads "the quantity of Q must be no larger than the sum of R,S,and T." Formulate this as a linear programming constraint.

• A)Q + R + S + T ≤ 4
• B)Q ≥ R + S + T
• C)Q - R - S - T ≤ 0
• D)Q / (R + S + T)≤ 0
• E)Q ≤ R + Q ≤ S + Q ≤ T

Definitions:

Slope

The measure of the steepness or incline of a line, often representing the rate of change between two variables in mathematics and economics.

Vertical Intercept

The point where a line or curve meets the vertical axis (usually the y-axis) on a graph.

Independent Variable

A variable that is manipulated or controlled in an experiment to test its effect on a dependent variable.

Dependent Variable

In an experiment or study, the variable that is being tested and measured, which changes in response to the independent variable.
