Linear programming is a mathematical optimization technique used to achieve the best outcome in a mathematical model whose requirements are represented by linear relationships. It involves maximizing or minimizing a linear objective function subject to a set of linear constraints. Key components of linear programming include: 1. **Objective Function**: This is the function that needs to be maximized or minimized. It is expressed as a linear combination of decision variables.
