2.8. You are given the following linear programming model in algebraic form, where x1 and x2 are the decision variables and Z is the value of the overall measure of performance.
Maximize Z = 3x1 + 2x2
subject to
Constraint on resource 1: 3x1 + x2 < 9 (amount available)
Constraint on resource 2: x1 + 2x2 < 8 (amount available) and
x1 > 0 x2> 0
a. Identify the objective function, the functional con- straints, and the nonnegativity constraints in this model.
b. incorporate this model into a spreadsheet
c. Is (x1, x2) = (2, 1) a feasible solution?
d. Is (x1, x2) = (2, 3) a feasible solution?
e. Is (x1, x2) = (0, 5) a feasible solution?
f. Use Solver to solve this model.
