A question about solving a linear program using the Tableau Method

AI Thread Summary
To solve the linear program using the tableau method, the user needs to establish the first tableau starting from a feasible extreme point. They have chosen the point (50, 16.67) but are struggling to complete the tableau due to missing values for S1 and S2. The user notes that the feasible region is a triangle not containing the origin, which complicates the setup. Suggestions include changing coordinates to make the origin a vertex of the feasible set and clarifying the tableau structure. The discussion highlights the challenges of applying the Simplex algorithm when the origin is not within the feasible region.

I am trying to solve the following linear program using the tableau method:

Max Z = 25X1 + 100X2 subject to:
0.10X1 – 0.90X2 + S1 = -10
0.85X1 – 0.15X2 + S2 = -15
0.60X1 + 0.60X2 + S3 = 40
X1 , X2 , S1 , S2 , S3 ≥ 0

The feasible region is just a triangle but the origin is not contained in it.

I would like to set up the first tableau but I have to start from a feasible extreme point.

I have picked Point (50,16.67) which corresponds to S3=S1=0, but I cannot complete the whole tableau:

Basis--Z--X1--X2--S1--S2--S3---Value----Ratio

Z-----1---0---0----?---0---?-----2917
X1----0---1---0----?---0---?-----50
X2----0---0---1----?---0---?-----16.67
S2----0---0---0----?---1---?----- -25


Does anybody have any clues? Thanks.

I'm not really fit in the Simplex algorithm, but you could change coordinates such that the origin is a vortex of the feasible set.
 
Thread 'Video on imaginary numbers and some queries'
Hi, I was watching the following video. I found some points confusing. Could you please help me to understand the gaps? Thanks, in advance! Question 1: Around 4:22, the video says the following. So for those mathematicians, negative numbers didn't exist. You could subtract, that is find the difference between two positive quantities, but you couldn't have a negative answer or negative coefficients. Mathematicians were so averse to negative numbers that there was no single quadratic...
Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles. In Dirac’s Principles of Quantum Mechanics published in 1930 he introduced a “convenient notation” he referred to as a “delta function” which he treated as a continuum analog to the discrete Kronecker delta. The Kronecker delta is simply the indexed components of the identity operator in matrix algebra Source: https://www.physicsforums.com/insights/what-exactly-is-diracs-delta-function/ by...
Thread 'Unit Circle Double Angle Derivations'
Here I made a terrible mistake of assuming this to be an equilateral triangle and set 2sinx=1 => x=pi/6. Although this did derive the double angle formulas it also led into a terrible mess trying to find all the combinations of sides. I must have been tired and just assumed 6x=180 and 2sinx=1. By that time, I was so mindset that I nearly scolded a person for even saying 90-x. I wonder if this is a case of biased observation that seeks to dis credit me like Jesus of Nazareth since in reality...
