LINEAR

PROGRAMMING
INTRODUCTION

This essay is about the definition, the elements, and what it is for. It will be brief
because I am still in my first cycle but it will be as specific as possible. The
objective of this article is to know how linear programming is important within
business, since as we will see in the definition, this topic is seen a lot in the field of
economics, being a crucial part of this area of ​our life and in the results. the
opinion of the referring author of this objective will be known

DEVELOPMENT
Linear programming is a process by which a linear function will be maximized. That is, a first-degree equation, where the variables are
raised to power 1.

We must remember that this type of equation is a mathematical equality that can have one or more unknowns. Thus, it has the
following basic form: a and b are the constants, while x and y are the variables.

axe+b=y

Using linear programming, this function could be optimized, finding the maximum or the minimum value of y. This, taking into account
that x is subject to certain restrictions. Maybe it's greater than 0 and less than 20, for example.

Elements of linear programming

The main elements of linear programming are the following:

• Objective function: It is that function that is optimized, either by maximizing or minimizing its result.

• Constraints: These are the conditions that must be met when optimizing the objective function. They can be equations or algebraic
inequations.

CONCLUSIONS

In conclusion, with respect to the objective proposed in the introduction, online


programming is about representing linear models to reduce costs or increase
profits in different areas of the organization. Therefore, it is used for effective
process management in all sectors of the economy.
