Math 117L1 FA01 -- Quantitative Analysis I
Study Guide - Quiz # 4


  1. 1. Find the solution to a system of linear inequalities in two unknowns:  graph the associated lines, find points of intersection, shade in solution region --  problems like p. 311, #15 - 30
  2. Solve a two variable linear programming problem using the graphical technique -- problems like p. 324 # 15 - 36, but you'll be given a graph of the feasible region
  3. Set up an application linear programming problem -- problems like # 37, 39, 40 p. 325,  # 47, 54 p. 344 - 345 and the laboratory exercise (You will need to construct the constraint inequalities and the objective function, and then set up the simplex tableau.)
  4. Use Excel to finish solving the problem in item 3
  5. State the three conditions for a linear programming problem to be in standard form.
  6. From a given simplex tableau, identify the next pivot element or identify whether the simplex algorithm process has reached the stopping point -- problems 13 - 20 on p. 342/343
  7. From a simplex tableau which has reached the stopping point, state the solution to the problem.
