Graphical Method
Solution – The set of values of decision variables 𝑥𝑗 = 𝑗 = 1,2, … … . . , 𝑛 that satisfy the constraints of an LP
Problem is said to constitute the solution to that LP Problem.
Feasible Solution- The set of values of decision variables 𝑥𝑗 = 𝑗 = 1,2, … … . . , 𝑛 that satisfy all the constraints
and non-negativity of an LP Problem.
A feasible solution is any point (x,y) that lies inside or on the boundary of the feasible region. It's a combination of
products that the factory can produce using its available resources. A problem can have an infinite number of
feasible solutions, but we are only interested in finding the one that gives the best outcome (the optimal
solution).
Feasible Region- Is the overlapping area of constraints that satisfies all the constraints.
Infeasible Solution- The set of values of decision variables that do not satisfy all the constraints and non-negativity
conditions.
An infeasible solution is any point (x,y) that lies outside the feasible region.
Unbounded Solution- A solution that can indefinitely increase or decrease the value of the objective function.
An unbounded solution occurs when the objective function can be increased (or decreased) indefinitely without
ever leaving the feasible region. This means the feasible region is not a closed shape, but rather an open, infinite
area.
