  1. Setting Up the Initial Simplex Tableau and Finding the Pivot Element Example 4.2 # 17 Produced by E. Gretchen Gascon

  2. Questions to ask yourself • What is being maximized? • This will be the object function • Things like maximize profit are used in this equation • What constraints is this function being subjected to? • These are the inequality equations

  3. The Problem Let x1 be the # of church groups, x2 be the # of labor unions

  4. Definition of Slack variables From p -156 of text

  5. Adding the Slack Variables Look at the maximize function. Now add the slack variables to each of the subject to functions.

  6. Set Up the Initial Simplex Tableau

  7. Questions • Post a question in the Main forum or in your individual forum. • Give me a call • This problem is completed in the slide presentation on the simplex method

  8. Finding the Pivot Element 1- Find the Most Negative Indicator – Look in the bottom row. 2- Decide on the pivot element by finding the smallest non-negative quotient in the column 16/2 = 8 or 12/3 = 4 The winner is…. 3
