D)nonlinear constraint.
E)linear constraint.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A constraint with zero slack or surplus is a binding constraint, meaning it is fully utilized in the solution and cannot be relaxed without affecting the optimal solution. Nonbinding constraints have positive slack or surplus, meaning they are not fully utilized in the solution and can be relaxed without affecting the optimal solution. Resource constraints are constraints that limit the availability of a particular input, while linear and nonlinear constraints refer to the mathematical form of the constraint.
