In linear optimization models,an objective function is the ________.
A)set of values that satisfies all the constraints
B)unknown value that the model seeks to determine
C)quantity that we seek to minimize or maximize
D)limitation or requirement that decision variables must satisfy

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

An objective function is the quantity that we seek to minimize or maximize in linear optimization models. It is the main goal of the model and is usually expressed as a mathematical equation. The other options, such as A, B, and D, do not accurately describe the objective function in linear optimization models.
