Quantitative Analysis for Management, 11e (Render) Chapter 10 Integer Programming, Goal Programming, and Nonlinear Programming 1) If conditions require that all decision variables must have an integer solution, then the class of problem described is an integer programming problem. Answer: TRUE Diff: 1 Topic: INTRODUCTION 2) An integer programming solution can never produce a greater profit objective than the LP solution to the same problem. Answer: TRUE Diff: 2 Topic: INTEGER PROGRAMMING 3) 0-1 integer programming might be applicable to selecting the best gymnastics team to represent a country from among all identified teams. Answer: TRUE Diff: 2 Topic: MODELING WITH 0-1 (BINARY) VARIABLES 4) Nonlinear programming is the case in which objectives and/or constraints are nonlinear. Answer: TRUE Diff: 1 Topic: INTRODUCTION 5) The following objective function is nonlinear: Max 5X + (1/8)Y - Z. Answer: FALSE Diff: 2 Topic: NONLINEAR PROGRAMMING 6) In goal programming, if all the goals are achieved, then the value of the objective function will always be zero. Answer: TRUE Diff: 2 Topic: GOAL PROGRAMMING 7) Unfortunately, multiple goals in goal programming are not able to be prioritized and solved. Answer: FALSE Diff: 2 Topic: GOAL PROGRAMMING 8) The following objective function is nonlinear: Max 5X - 8YZ. Answer: TRUE Diff: 2 Topic: NONLINEAR PROGRAMMING
