Which of the following could be a linear programming objective function?
A) Z = 1A + 2BC + 3D
B) Z = 1A + 2B + 3C + 4D
C) Z = 1A + 2B / C + 3D
D) Z = 1A + 2B2 + 3D

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Linear programming objective functions are linear, meaning they consist of variables that are to the first power and are added or subtracted together, possibly with coefficients. Option B, Z = 1A + 2B + 3C + 4D, is the only choice that fits this description, as it is a linear combination of the variables A, B, C, and D.
