What is the objective function in linear programming problems?

Open in App

Solution

Objective function:
The real-valued function whose value is to be either minimized or maximized subject to the constraints.
The objective function is needed to solve the optimization problems.
An objective function is a linear function represented by $Z = a x + b y$ , where $a, b$ are constraints and $x, y$ are variables.
