Quizplus · Accepted Answer

At the initial basic feasible solution at the origin, only slack variables have a value greater than zero because they are introduced to convert the inequality constraints into equality constraints. The linear variables start with a value of zero, and the non-linear and integer variables can only be introduced in special cases.
