I. Modified true or false. Write TRUE if the statement is correct and change the underlined
word if it is false to make the statement correct. Write your answer on the space provided before
each number.
TRUE 1. The solution of the equation is the value that will make it true.
Programming 2. The word linear implies making schedules or plans of activities.
Linear 2. The word Programming means direct proportionality of relationship of
Variables.
TRUE 3. Linear Programming refers to planning with the use of linear relationship
of variables.
TRUE 4. The objective function is introduced by the word maximize or minimize.
TRUE 5. Equation is a statement of an equality containing one or more variable of a
product of constant and variable/s.
Optimal Solution 6. Optimum solution makes the objective function as large as possible in
maximization and as small as possible in the minimization
TRUE 7. Feasible region is the area where possible solutions included.
Upper 8. The solution of x+ y 4 is located in the lower half of the plane.
y – axis 9. The graph of x=5 is a straight line parallel to x-axis.
2 10. The solution of -3x <-6 is x > -2.
Implicit 11. Explicit constraints can be expressed in mathematical sentences.
Greater than 12. All variables in problems that can be solved by linear programming
must be less than or equal to zero.
TRUE 13. Cj column is a column in the simplex table which contains the profit or
cost per unit for the variable in the solution.
TRUE 14. Optimal column is the column in any solution to a maximizing problem
which has the largest positive value in the Cj-Zj row or which has the largest negative value in a
minimizing problem.
Slack Variables 15. Artificial Variables are variables added to “less than or equal
to” constraints to convert them into equations.
TRUE 16. Pivot element is the element in the entering column and the leaving row.
TRUE 17. The word programming implies direct proportionality of relationship of
variables.
Inequality 18. In equality solving, multiplying or dividing both members by a negative
numeral will reverse the symbol of the inequality.
Inequality 19. Inequations are algebraic statements showing expressions that are not
equal.
Two 20. ax +by +c =0 is the general form of linear equation in three variables.

41-46. Robinson’s supermarket sells fruit by kilogram. Sheena bought 3 kg. of oranges
and 6 kg of mangoes for a total cost of Php.600, while Arriane paid Php 640 for 5 kg of
oranges and 4 kg of mangoes. What is the price per kilogram of oranges and mangoes?

 Therefore, the smaller number is 18 and the larger number is 23 which is (18+5).

53-60. A farmer has 40 hectares of farm on which to plant corn and rice. The rice
needs 4 units of insecticides ant 2 units of fertilizer per hectare, while corn needs 3 units
of insecticides and 6 units of fertilizer. He has at least 90 units of insecticides and at
least 60 units of fertilizer available. The average profit per hectare on rice is Php 20,000
and Php 14,000 on corn. How many hectares of each crop should he plant to maximize
his profit? Solve using graphical method.
