Exercise – 3
1. Consider the graphical representations of the following linear program:
Maximize (or minimize) z = 5x1 + 3x 2
Subject to x1 + x 2 ≤ 6 , x1 ≥ 3 , x 2 ≥ 3 , 2x1 + 3x 2 ≥ 3 , x1 , x 2 ≥ 0.

number of points, or no point.

(ii) The constraint x1 + x 2 ≤ 6 is changed to x1 + x 2 ≤ 5 .. (none)
