Revisit first: Equations of a line

TOPIC 01

Linear programming and discrete feasibility

Draw a feasible region and optimise a linear objective, then check integer restrictions when required.

What you will be able to explain

  • Draw a feasible region and optimise a linear objective, then check integer restrictions when required.
  • Justify the method and check the conditions in a new situation.

Try it. Leave your reasoning visible.

Use one hint at a time. A correction explains what changed, not just the final answer.

01 / Foundation#Your turn

Is (t,0) feasible? Enter 1 for yes, 0 for no.

x,y≥0,x+y≤5x,y\ge0,\quad x+y\le5
  • A vertex search needs a nonempty bounded polygon or a justified finite optimum; integer solutions may differ from continuous optima.

Working and explanation

BUILD THE REASONING

Hint 1
Write the defining equation, retain exclusions, and then solve or compare.
Hint 2
Substitute both coordinates.
Worked solution
  1. Write the defining equation, retain exclusions, and then solve or compare.

  2. Apply the stated relation and retain its conditions.

    5+0≤55+0\le5
  3. The boundary is included by the non-strict inequality.

The requested value is 1.

Checks and common pitfalls: The boundary is included by the non-strict inequality.

Think first. Reveal a hint when the class is ready.

Teacher preparation and assessment

Question sequence

  • Draw a feasible region and optimise a linear objective, then check integer restrictions when required.
  • Which condition is essential in linear programming and discrete feasibility?
  • Must rounding a continuous optimum preserve feasibility?

Board plan

  • Model or definition: Draw a feasible region and optimise a linear objective, then check integer restrictions when required.
    z=ax+byz=ax+by
  • Conditions: A vertex search needs a nonempty bounded polygon or a justified finite optimum; integer solutions may differ from continuous optima.

Anticipated thinking

  • An objective has no optimum if it is unbounded in an improving feasible direction.

Assessment checklist

  • 1 mark: choose the correct representation and conditions.
  • 1 mark: establish the intermediate relation.
  • 1 mark: complete a connected calculation or proof.
  • 1 mark: interpret and check the conclusion.
