Hello to all the members of this awesome teaching site!
I am having a little trouble with a part on linear programming.
I understand all the steps involved but how do I know what the optimum point is on the constraint graph using the iso-contribution line?
It has been bugging me for quite a few days!!!
Thanks

The optimum point is the last one you reach as you move the line away from the origin.
(Have you watched the free lecture on this, where I explain this point?)

Why don’t all ACCA students know about this?

I don’t know why all ACCA students don’t know about us!
You can help by telling people 🙂 - AuthorPosts
