Key learning points
- Define variables and write all constraints including non-negativity.
- Sketch the feasible region accurately.
- Evaluate the objective at each vertex.
- Interpret the optimal solution in context (units, integer needs).
- Slack / surplus comments when the paper asks.
Worked example 1 — Vertex
Where is the optimum for a linear objective?
Working
Evaluate all vertices.
Worked example 2 — Integer
If items must be whole numbers?
Working
Graphical integer programming lite.
Worked example 3 — Practice point 1
Apply this idea from the Topic Review: Define variables and write all constraints including non-negativity.
Working
Attempt without notes, then check the answers PDF.
Worked example 4 — Practice point 2
Apply this idea from the Topic Review: Sketch the feasible region accurately.
Working
Attempt without notes, then check the answers PDF.
