Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Question a. Construct a dual problem for this primal problem

Solution:

Minimize W=10y1+10y2

Y1+3Y2≥3

2Y1+3Y2≥7

Y1+2Y2≥4

Y1≥0,Y2≥0

Question b. Use the dual problem to demonstrate that the optimal value of Z for the primal problem cannot exceed 25.

Solution.

The solution (0,2.5) gives W=25 and given how Z W then Z can not be greater than 25.
