2014/9/16 Linear Equations Ad Options Ads by Vidx Linear Equations A linear equation is an equation for a straight line These are all linear equations: y = 2x+1 5x = 6+3y y/2 = 3 x Let us look more closely at one example: Example: y = 2x+1 is a linear equation: The graph of y = 2x+1 is a straight line When x increases‚ y increases twice as fast‚ hence 2x When x is 0‚ y is already 1. Hence +1 is also needed So: y = 2x + 1 Here are some example values: http://www.mathsisfun.com/algebra/linear-equations

An Introduction to Linear Programming Steven J. Miller∗ March 31‚ 2007 Mathematics Department Brown University 151 Thayer Street Providence‚ RI 02912 Abstract We describe Linear Programming‚ an important generalization of Linear Algebra. Linear Programming is used to successfully model numerous real world situations‚ ranging from scheduling airline routes to shipping oil from refineries to cities to finding inexpensive diets capable of meeting the minimum daily requirements. In many of these problems

Linear Programming History of linear programming goes back as far as 1940s. Main motivation for the need of linear programming goes back to the war time when they needed ways to solve many complex planning problems. The simplex method which is used to solve linear programming was developed by George B. Dantzig‚ in 1947. Dantzig‚ was one in who did a lot of work on linear programming‚ he was reconzied by several honours. Dantzig’s discovery was through his personal contribution‚ during WWII when Dantzig

Describe the payout policy of Linear Technologies historically. Describe Linear’s current cash position and its financing needs. The company initiated its dividend in 1993 with a relatively conservative payout ratio of 15%‚ based on a quarterly dividend of $0.05/share/quarter ($0.00625 split adjusted as per Exhibit 3). As of 3Q2003‚ the dividend is also $0.05/share/quarter‚ adjusted for stock splits‚ which translates into a payout ratio of . The payout ratio is currently 27.5% on an as adjusted

The development of linear programming has been ranked among the most important scientific advances of the mid 20th century. Its impact since the 1950’s has been extraordinary. Today it is a standard tool used by some companies (around 56%) of even moderate size. Linear programming uses a mathematical model to describe the problem of concern. Linear programming involves the planning of activities to obtain an optimal result‚ i.e.‚ a result that reaches the specified goal best (according to the mathematical

Introduction Linear optimization is a mathematical method for determining a way to achieve the best outcome such as maximum profit or lowest cost in a given mathematical model for some list of requirements represented as linear relationships. Linear programming is a specific case of mathematical programming The Primary Purpose of the present investigation is to develop an interactive spreadsheet tool to aid in determining a maximum return function in 401K plan. In this paper‚ we discuss how the

linear regression In statistics‚ linear regression is an approach to model the relationship between a scalar dependent variable y and one or more explanatory variables denoted X. The case of one explanatory variable is called simple linear regression. For more than one explanatory variable‚ it is called multiple linear regression. (This term should be distinguished from multivariate linear regression‚ where multiple correlated dependent variables are predicted‚[citation needed] rather than a single
