Question

which of the following describes the objective function in a linear programming problem? an inequality that describes the limitations of the variables. a function that is used as a optimization equation. the region formed by the intersection of the inequalities. the constraints of a linear programming problem.

Explanation:

In linear - programming, the objective function is a function that we aim to maximize or minimize (optimize). It is not an inequality (which are constraints), nor the region formed by constraint - intersection, nor the constraints themselves.

Answer:

B. A function that is used as a optimization equation.
