2.2 Linear Programming


Introduction
Improving our way of living is one of our goal of life. With the given resources that we have, we want to
make the most out of them.

In this Chapter, techniques on how to optimize things will be discussed like linear programming. Linear
programming (LP) is one of the simplest ways to perform optimization. It helps you solve very complex
optimization problems by making a few simplifying assumptions. As an analyst you are bound to come
across applications and problems to be solved by Linear Programming.

Linear Inequalities in Two Variables


Linear inequalities are very useful in the study of economics, statistics, business, engineering, science
and other areas. In this section, solutions of linear inequalities are discussed which will become an
introduction to linear programming.

Statements of the form

Ax + By > C Ax + By < C (strict inequality)

Ax + By ≥ C Ax + By ≤ C (mixed inequality)

Where A, B and C are constants, and A and B are not both zero, are inequalities of the first degree in
two variables.

Solution of Linear Inequalities in Two Variables


The solution of a linear inequality in two variables is a subset of the plane consisting of all points (x, y)
whose coordinates satisfy the inequality. Hence, determining the solution is graphing the linear inequality.

Steps:

1. Replace the inequality symbols with equality. This is the equation of the boundary line of the desired
region which is considered the solution or feasibility region.

2. Graph the boundary line. (If the inequality involves ≥ 𝑜𝑟 ≤ , the boundary line is solid indicating that
the points in the line are included in the solution. If the inequality is > 𝑜𝑟 < , a broken line is used
indicating that the points on the line are not solutions of line inequality.)

3. Choose a point not on the boundary line, if possible (0, 0) and substitute the coordinates in the given
inequality.

4. If the point satisfies the inequality, shade the region containing it. Otherwise, shade the region on the
other side of the boundary line. The shaded region is the solution.

Examples:

1. Graph 𝑦 > 2x + 4

Step 1: The equation is y = 2x + 4. Take ordered pairs (0, 4) and (-2, 0).

These are the intercepts of the equation. Then graph on the Cartesian plane.

Step 2: The boundary line is broken line since the inequality is strict. (>)

Step 3: Choose (0, 0) and test in the given inequality from 𝑦 > 2x + 4.
Therefore, 0 is > 2(0) + 4 can be simplified as 0 > 4.

Step 4: 0 > 4 is not true; hence, shade the other side of the boundary line. (not in the region where
(0, 0) is located)
