The Optimal Solution of the Linear Programming Problem Is at the Intersection

question 18

Essay

The optimal solution of the linear programming problem is at the intersection of constraints 1 and 2.
​

$\begin{array} { l l } \text { Max } & 2 x _ { 1 } + x _ { 2 } \\ \text { s.t. } & 4 x _ { 1 } + 1 x _ { 2 } \leq 400 \\ & 4 x _ { 1 } + 3 x _ { 2 } \leq 600 \\ & 1 x _ { 1 } + 2 x _ { 2 } \leq 300 \\ & x _ { 1 } , x _ { 2 } \geq 0 \end{array}$

a.​
Over what range can the coefficient of x₁ vary before the current solution is no longer optimal?
b.​
Over what range can the coefficient of x₂ vary before the current solution is no longer optimal?
c.Compute the dual prices for the three constraints.
