  1. How do you select the pivot column in the simplex method?
  2. How do you perform the pivot operation in the simplex method?
  3. What does the final tableau represent in linear programming?
  4. How do you interpret the solution obtained from the simplex method tableau?
  5. What is the significance of a zero entry in the objective row in the simplex tableau?

Tip: Always check if the coefficients in the objective row (z row) are all non-negative in a maximization problem. If they are, the current solution is optimal.
