Linear programming (LP) can be defined as:
a. A mathematical technique that can be used
identify the value of a variable, such as maximizing
the profit of an operation, for a given set of
constraints.
b. A mathematical technique that can be used to
identify the maximum value of a variable such as
maximizing the shipping distances between
locations of a business.
,c. A mathematical technique that can be used to
identify the maximum value of a variable such as
maximizing the consumption of parts used to
manufacture a major appliance.
d. A mathematical technique that can be used to
identify the maximum value of a variable such as
maximizing the cost of an operation. - ....ANSWER...a.
