How do you resolve linear programming problems? I don't like the way my math textbook and my teacher does. I think it's a bit innacurate, if I make me understand. They do it by displacing the objective function.
PPonte said:HallsofIvy thank you for your explanation, that's exactly how was taught to resolve. Nevertheless, I don't like to displace the object function, since I can just do that drawing in a paper or in the graphic calculator. The graphic calculator (mine is a TI 84) is not very precise in the determination of the point or points, that, for example, maximize the function. Do you know any programm for the calculator that could help me?
NateTG said:I'm pretty sure that the TI 84 can be programmed to do it, but you'll end up using the matrix stuff. (You might consider writing the program as an excercise.)
PPonte said:Thank you NateTG! Good idea! It's a good motive to start using properly my calculator. I will try.
Linear programming is a mathematical method used to optimize a system or process by finding the best solution from a set of possible solutions. It is important because it can help us make more informed decisions and improve efficiency in various fields such as business, economics, and engineering.
The traditional approach involves manually solving a series of inequalities and equations to find the optimal solution. This can be time-consuming and prone to errors, especially for complex problems.
The better approach is to use computer algorithms and software specifically designed for solving linear programming problems. This allows for faster and more accurate solutions to be found, even for complex problems with multiple variables and constraints.
The better approach utilizes advanced algorithms and techniques to efficiently search through a large solution space and find the optimal solution. This saves time and reduces the risk of human error, leading to more efficient and effective problem-solving.
Yes, the better approach is widely used in various industries and fields to solve real-world problems. It has been proven to be effective in optimizing processes and making data-driven decisions. Many businesses and organizations rely on this approach to improve their operations and achieve their goals.
