Across
- 3. problem: A problem where a quantity must be maximized or minimized following a set of guidelines or conditions.
- 5. programming: A mathematical technique used to determine which solutions in the feasible region result in .the optimal solutions of the objective function.
- 7. region: The solution region for a system of linear inequalities that is modeling an optimization problem.
- 8. plane: The region on one side of the graph of a linear relation on a Cartesian plane.
- 9. A limiting condition of the optimization problem being modelled, represented by a linear inequality.
- 10. A connected set of numbers. In a continuous set, there is always another number between any two given numbers. Continuous variables represent things that can be measured, such as time.
- 11. function: In an optimization problem, the equation that represents the relationship between the two variables in the system of linear inequalities and the quantity to be optimized.
Down
- 1. of linear inequalities: A set of two or more linear inequalities that are graphed on the same coordinate plane the intersection of their solution regions represents the solution set for the system.
- 2. of separate or distinct parts. Discrete variables represent things that can be counted, such as people in a room.
- 4. solution: A point in the solution set that represents the maximum or minimum value of the objective function.
- 6. set: The set of all possible solutions.
