Linear Programming Solver Help

Click "Show Example/Problem" and read the notes on using the tool.

Click "Graph" to solve the problem and show the graph of the feasible region. You can move the graph so that you can see the text solution and graph at the same time. Clicking "Solve" solves the problem without showing the graph (graphing is slow!)

The text solution gives each vertex of the feasible region, the equations of the lines through the vertex, the value of the objective function at that vertex, and shows the optimum for the objective function. Note that the output may appear somewhat messy on some computers.

To enter your own problem, the easiest is to start with the Example, and then make the necessary changes.
If necessary, change the domain and range to see the feasible region. But note that the Graph function may not work for large Xmax, unless you also increase the Gridlines interval! For example, Xmin=0, Xmax=600 and Gridlines=1 probably will give an error message, but Xmin=400, Xmax=600 and Gridlines=1 and Xmin=0, Xmax=600 and Gridlines=50 should work!
