Solve this problem graphically and determine how many of each item the analyst should pack
A novice business analyst develops the following model to determine the optimal combination of socks and underwear to take on his next business trip. The model is as follows:
Maximize 5S+7U
subject to:
3S - 2U? 45
7S + 3U? 33
2S + 8U? 70
Answer: The optimal solution lies at the point representing 1.08 socks and 8.48 underwear. I suppose this is why I referred to the analyst as a novice.
