Short Answer

Expert verified
The dual linear programming problem corresponding to the given primal problem is: \( \min \) w = 6u + 2v, subject to: (1) u - v ≥ 2, (2) 2u + v ≥ 1, (3) u, v ≥ 0.

Step 1: Identify the dual problem type

Since the primal problem is a maximization problem, the dual problem will be a minimization problem.

Step 2: Write the objective function

In the dual problem, we have one variable per constraint (excluding x, y ≥ 0) in the primal problem. Let's denote the variables in the dual problem as u and v, respectively, for constraints (1) and (2). Therefore, the objective function in the dual problem would be: \( \min \) w = 6u + 2v.

Step 3: Write the constraints

Now, let's write the constraints for the dual problem. For each variable in the primal problem, we have a constraint in the dual problem. The primal problem has two variables (x and y), so the dual problem will have two constraints: (1) u - v ≥ 2, (2) 2u + v ≥ 1.

Step 4: Write the bounds for the dual variables

Since the primal problem has “≤” constraints (excluding x, y ≥ 0), the dual variables (u, v) will have non-negative constraints: u, v ≥ 0. Now, we can write the entire dual problem as follows: \( \min \) w = 6u + 2v, subject to: (1) u - v ≥ 2, (2) 2u + v ≥ 1, (3) u, v ≥ 0. This is the dual linear programming problem corresponding to the given primal problem.

Resource Allocation Fancy Pineapple produces pineapple juice and canned pineapple rings. This year the company anticipates a demand of at least 10,000 pints of pineapple juice and 1,000 cans of pineapple rings. Each pint of pineapple juice requires 2 pineapples, and each can of pineapple rings requires 1 pineapple. The company anticipates using at least 20,000 pineapples for these products. Each pint of pineapple juice costs the company 20 e to produce, and each can of pineapple rings costs 50 \& to produce. How many pints of pineapple juice and cans of pineapple rings should Fancy Pineapple produce to meet the demand and minimize total costs?
