Question 532189: Consider the following LP problem:
maximum profit = 5X+6Y
subject to 2X+y <- 120
2x+3y <- 120
x,y<- 0
(a) What is the optimal solution to this problem?
Solve it graphically.
(b) If a technical breakthrough occurred that raised
the profit per unit of X to $8, would this affect
the optimal solution?
(c) Instead of an increase in the profit coefficient X
to $8, suppose that profit was overestimated and
should only have been $3. Does this change the
optimal solution?
