(a)

Formulate an integer programming model that could be used to find the minimum number of locations necessary to provide coverage to all areas.

If your answer is zero enter “0” and if the constant is "1" it must be entered in the box.

                               
                                   
  Min  xA +  xB +  xC +  xD +  xE +  xF +  xG      
 

s.t.

 

                               
 xA +  xB +  xC +  xD +  xE +  xF +  xG     (area 1 covered)
   xA +  xB +  xC +  xD +  xE +  xF +  xG     (area 2 covered)
   xA +  xB +  xC +  xD +  xE +  xF +  xG     (area 3 covered)
   xA +  xB +  xC +  xD +  xE +  xF +  xG   less than or equal to, greater than or equal to, equal (area 4 covered)
   xA +  xB +  xC +  xD +  xE +  xF +  xG     (area 5 covered)
   xA +  xB +  xC +  xD +  xE +  xF +  xG     (area 6 covered)
   xA +  xB +  xC +  xD +  xE +  xF +  xG     (area 7 covered)
   
 
(b) Solve the problem in part (a). Choose the correct optimal solution.
  If your answer is zero enter “0” and if the constant is "1" it must be entered in the box.
