Question

A linear programming problem deals with the optimization of a/an:

• A. Logarithmic function
• B. Linear function
• C. Quadratic function
• D. Exponential function

Hint:

Linear programming problems always involve a linear objective function and linear constraints.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Linear programming involves optimizing (maximizing or minimizing) a linear objective function, subject to a set of linear constraints. The objective function typically takes the form: \[ Z = c_1x_1 + c_2x_2 + \dots + c_nx_n, \] where \( c_1, c_2, \dots, c_n \) are constants and \( x_1, x_2, \dots, x_n \) are decision variables. Final Answer: \[ \boxed{\text{Linear function}} \]
