Question

In a linear programming problem, the linear function which has to be maximized or minimized is called ______.

Options

• a feasible function 

• an objective function

• an optimal function 

• a constraint

Answer 1

In a linear programming problem, the linear function which has to be maximized or minimized is called an objective function.

Explanation:

In a linear programming problem, the linear function which has to be maximized or minimized is called the objective function. This function represents the goal of the optimization, such as maximizing profit or minimizing cost, subject to a set of constraints.
