Consider the following problem
Maximize Z=2x1 + 5x2 + x3
subject to
4x1+ 2x2 + x3 ≤ 6
x1 + x2 ≤ 2
xi ³ 0 for i=1,2,3
a. Inserting slack variables, construct the initial simplex tableau. What is the initial basic feasible solution?
b. What is the next non-basic variable to enter the basis
c. Using the minimum ratio rule, identify the basic variable to leave the basis.
d. Using elementary row operations, find the next basic feasible solution.
