False

Question 4
2 out of 2 points

If we are solving a 0-1 integer programming problem with three decision variables, the
constraint x1 + x2 1 is a mutually exclusive constraint.
Answer

True

Correct Answer:

True

Question 5
2 out of 2 points

In a 0-1 integer programming problem involving a capital budgeting application (where

xj = 1, if project j is selected, xj = 0, otherwise) the constraint x1 - x2 0 implies that if
project 2 is selected, project 1 can not be selected.
Answer

Selected Answer:

False

Correct Answer:

False

Question 6
2 out of 2 points

If we are solving a 0-1 integer programming problem with three decision variables, the

constraint x1 + x2 + x3 3 is a mutually exclusive constraint.

Answer

Selected Answer:

False

Correct Answer:

False

Question 7
2 out of 2 points

You have been asked to select at least 3 out of 7 possible sites for oil exploration.
Designate each site as S1, S2, S3, S4, S5, S6, and S7. The restrictions are:
Restriction 1. Evaluating sites S1 and S3 will prevent you from exploring site S7.
Restriction 2. Evaluating sites S2 or
S4 will prevent you from assessing site S5.
Restriction 3. Of all the sites, at least 3 should be assessed.
Assuming that Si is a binary variable, the constraint for the first restriction is
Answer
Selected Answer:

S1 + S3 + S7 2

Question 10
2 out of 2 points

The Wiethoff Company has a contract to produce 10000 garden hoses for a customer.
Wiethoff has 4 different machines that can produce this kind of hose. Because these
machines are from different manufacturers and use differing technologies, their
specifications are not the same.

Write the constraint that indicates they can purchase no more than 3 machines.
Answer

be selected.
Answer
Selected Answer:

at most 2
Correct Answer:

at most 2

Correct Answer:

mutually exclusive

Question 16
2 out of 2 points

You have been asked to select at least 3 out of 7 possible sites for oil exploration.
Designate each site as S1, S2, S3, S4, S5, S6, and S7. The restrictions are:
Restriction 1. Evaluating sites S1 and S3 will prevent you from exploring site S7.
Restriction 2. Evaluating sites S2 or
S4 will prevent you from assessing site S5.
