Mar 24 Lesson: Duality II

Handout: Duality Relationship Worksheet

Project 7 (10 points):

Given: max 3x1 + 5x2
	   s.t. 1x1 <= 4
	        2x2 <= 12
			3x1 + 2x2 <= 18 

1. find the dual
2. identify the basic solutions (including slack variables) for both the primal problem and the dual problem (since the dual is in 3-space, it would be easier to find corner points by checking the intersection of all pairs of constraints (including non-negativity)
3. create a table, as we did in class, identifying the primal solution along with its corresponding dual solution and discuss the relationship these solutions have in terms of their feasibility.
