A circus is planning a tower act in which individuals stand on top of one another's shoulders. Each individual must be both shorter and lighter than the person below him or her for practical and aesthetic reasons. Write a way to determine the maximum feasible number of people in such a tower given the heights and weights of each individual in the circus.
Any linear program L, given in standard form, either1. has an optimal solution with a finite objective value,2. is infeasible, or3. is unbounded.If L is infeasible, SIMPLEX returns “infeasible.” If L is unbounded, SIMPLEXreturns “unbounded.” Otherwise, SIMPLEX returns an optimal solution with a finiteobjective value.
8. A school is creating class schedules for its students. The students submit their requested courses and then a program will be designed to find the
optimal schedule for all students.
The school has determined that finding the absolute best schedule cannot be solved in a reasonable time. Instead they have decided to use a simpler
algorithm that produces a good but non-optimal schedule in a more reasonable amount of time.
Which principle does this decision best demonstrate?
A. Unreasonable algorithms may sometimes also be undecidable
B. Heuristics can be used to solve some problems for which no reasonable algorithm exists
C. Two algorithms that solve the same problem must also have the same efficiency
D. Approximate solutions are often identical to optimal solutions

Inside the store there are two types of products One is in a variety of products and the other is bakery supplies. Of course in a store, in order to make a profit, a budget is needed for the products to be sold: For variety they spend up to Php 6,000 in a week and for bakery supplies, they no longer have problems because consignment is in their agreement to be able to sell. For bakery supplies, My parents sell Php 315,000 and they earn Php 31,500 in 3 months. And in the main variety product; They sell Php 48,000 they earn Php 18,000 in 4 months. For other equipment such as Plastic Bags, Water and Electricity they spend Php 3,230 in a month which reduces the income. On the day of December 19, the store will be temporarily…arrow_forward
