Exercise 9-A True/False Questions.


Write True on the blank if the statement is correct and False if it is an
incorrect statement.
______1. An iterative process is a procedure, which is repeated over and over
following a random pattern.
______ 2. An inequality relationship may be converted into an equality by the
addition of a slack variable.

always shows the right hand side values of the constraints.
______ 6. Artificial, slack, and surplus variables are added to inequality constraints
in order to convert them to equalities. Artificial variables are also added

The poultry farmer must supplement the vitamins in the feeds he buys. He is
considering two supplements, each of which contains the feed required but in
different amounts. He must meet or exceed the minimum vitamin requirements.

The vitamin content per gram of the supplements is given in the following table:

Vitamin

for the second semester. Student demands make it necessary to offer
at least 30 undergraduate and 20 graduate courses in the term. Faculty
contracts also dictate that at least 60 courses be offered in total. Each
undergraduate course taught costs the college an average of
P2,500,000 in faculty wages, and each graduate course costs
P3,000,000. How many undergraduate and graduate courses should be
