Continuing The Problem: Homework 6

This document summarizes the simplex method solution to a linear programming problem over multiple iterations. It finds an optimal solution of (16,72) but notes that this is a degenerate solution, meaning it lies at the intersection of more constraints (3 in this 2-dimensional problem) than is required for a unique optimal solution. It also shows the graphical solution involving finding the optimal point at the intersection of the objective function and the feasible region boundaries.

There is a degenerate solution.


We found the optimal solution as;

And other optimal solution is;

(0,120) and (40,0)


(0, 80) and (160, 0)
(0,100) and (57,1 , 0)

In an n dimensional space, if number of constraints defining an extreme point


then the
solution is degenerate. By definition of degeneracy, the optimal point (16,72) is degenerate.
Because in R2, 3 constraints define this point.
