Question

In problem formulation, the a. constraints are expressed in terms of the obtained objective function coefficients. b. objective is expressed in terms of the decision variables. c. nonnegativity constraints are always ignored. d. optimal solution is decided upon.

Answer 1

Answer: B. objective is expressed in terms of the decision variables

Explanation:

Linear programming refers to an optimization technique that is used for a linear constraints system and the objective function.

The objective function simply means the quantity that an individual wants to optimize. It should be noted that the aim of linear programming is to get the values of the variables which will minimize or maximize the objective function. In problem formulation, objective is expressed in terms of the decision variables.

Therefore, the correct option is B
