Understanding And | Using Linear Programming

Delivery companies use it to find the shortest, cheapest routes for thousands of packages.

At its core, Linear Programming is an optimization technique. It’s used to find the maximum (e.g., profit) or minimum (e.g., cost) value of a mathematical function, given a set of constraints. Understanding and Using Linear Programming

These are the "unknowns" you are trying to solve for (e.g., "How many units of Product A should I make?"). Delivery companies use it to find the shortest,

This is your main goal. It’s a mathematical expression you want to maximize or minimize (e.g., Total Profit = 5A + 10B ). These are the "unknowns" you are trying to solve for (e

List every constraint. Don’t forget "non-negativity" (you can't produce -5 of a product!).

To solve a problem using linear programming, you need three components:
