Linear Programming

• Linear Programming is the shading of the regions you don't want
• Maximising the value is finding the highest value of the corner of the feasible region - known as the Optimum Function
• Linear Programming is used to maximise profits or minimise costs
• Variables need to be identified first, usually defined by "let x=" or "let y="

  Next determine what factors restrict the values of the variables and formulate the constricts algebraically

  Objective needs to be identified using an objective function and a statement saying whether its minimised/maximised
• After drawing the feasible region, a minimum of 4 points should be substituted into the objective function
