Program Plan Intro
Linear
- The linear programming (LP) is also known as linear optimization.
- Consider a mathematical model, and its requirements are used to represent by the linear relationships. The linear programming is the best method to achieve the best outcome of this mathematical model. The outcomes may be, maximum profit or lower cost.
- The linear optimization is also called as mathematical optimization because, it is a special case of mathematical programming.
- More formally, the LP is a technique for optimizing linear objective function subject to constraints of linear equality and linear inequality.
Dual of LP:
The dual of the given LP is another LP derived in the following schematic way from the original (the primal) LP.
- Every variable in the primal Linear Programming becomes a constraint in the dual LP.
- Every limit in the primal Linear Programming becomes a variable in the dual LP.
- In the dual LP, the objective direction is inversed. That is, the maximum in the primal becomes minimum in the dual and vice-versa.

I only need part B in the image, I have already completed part A. How do I formally prove that by using consecutive powers for the values of coins, that it will give me the optimal solution? (using induction preferably unless an easier formal proof is available)
In this question you will explore the Traveling Salesperson Problem (TSP).
(a) In every instance (i.e., example) of the TSP, we are given n cities, where each pair of cities is connected by a weighted edge that measures the cost of traveling between those two cities. Our goal is to find the optimal TSP tour, minimizing the total cost of a Hamiltonian cycle in G.
Although it is NP-complete to solve the TSP, we found a simple 2-approximation by first generating a minimum-weight spanning tree of G and using this output to determine our TSP tour.
Prove that our output is guaranteed to be a 2-approximation, provided the Triangle Inequality holds. In other words, if OP T is the total cost of the optimal solution, and AP P is the total cost of our approximate solution, clearly explain why AP P ≤ 2 × OP T.
