Math Problem Statement
Max z=100x+80y
STC 2x + y <= 200 x + 2y <= 150 x + y < 100 x, y >= 0 Solve using simplex method
Solution
To solve the linear programming problem using the simplex method, we'll go through the following steps:
1. Problem Formulation:
Given the objective function:
Subject to the constraints:
1.\ & 2x + y \leq 200 \quad \text{(Constraint 1)}\\ 2.\ & x + 2y \leq 150 \quad \text{(Constraint 2)}\\ 3.\ & x + y < 100 \quad \text{(Constraint 3)}\\ 4.\ & x \geq 0, \quad y \geq 0 \quad \text{(Non-negativity constraints)} \end{aligned}$$ ### 2. Convert Inequalities to Equalities by Adding Slack Variables: To apply the simplex method, convert the inequalities into equalities by introducing slack variables $$s_1$$, $$s_2$$, and $$s_3$$: $$\begin{aligned} 1.\ & 2x + y + s_1 = 200 \quad \text{(Slack variable for Constraint 1)}\\ 2.\ & x + 2y + s_2 = 150 \quad \text{(Slack variable for Constraint 2)}\\ 3.\ & x + y + s_3 = 100 \quad \text{(Slack variable for Constraint 3)}\\ \end{aligned}$$ The objective function now becomes: $$z = 100x + 80y$$ ### 3. Initial Simplex Tableau: Set up the initial simplex tableau. We introduce the slack variables into the objective function with a coefficient of 0 since they do not contribute to the objective function: $$\begin{array}{c|cccccc|c} \text{Basic Var.} & x & y & s_1 & s_2 & s_3 & \text{RHS} \\ \hline s_1 & 2 & 1 & 1 & 0 & 0 & 200 \\ s_2 & 1 & 2 & 0 & 1 & 0 & 150 \\ s_3 & 1 & 1 & 0 & 0 & 1 & 100 \\ \hline z & -100 & -80 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 \\ \end{array}$$ ### 4. Perform the Simplex Algorithm: The algorithm proceeds with the following steps: #### Step 1: Identify the entering variable. The entering variable is the one with the most negative coefficient in the objective function row, which is $$x$$ (with $$-100$$). #### Step 2: Identify the leaving variable. The leaving variable is determined by the minimum positive ratio of the RHS to the pivot column (ignoring negative or zero entries). The ratios are: - For $$s_1$$: $$\frac{200}{2} = 100$$ - For $$s_2$$: $$\frac{150}{1} = 150$$ - For $$s_3$$: $$\frac{100}{1} = 100$$ So, $$s_1$$ leaves the basis, and $$x$$ enters. #### Step 3: Pivot to update the tableau. The pivot element is 2 in the first row. Perform row operations to make the pivot element 1 and to make the other elements in the pivot column zero. #### Step 4: Repeat the process. Continue the process by selecting the next entering variable and the corresponding leaving variable, pivoting until there are no negative coefficients in the bottom row.
