Case Study

Budgeting and Linear Inequality Constraints

Based on the budget scenario described, answer the following two recall-based modeling questions to help train the new dispatch coordinators:

  1. Identify the standard mathematical inequality symbol that translates the phrase 'no more than' or 'at most' when modeling a budget limit.
  2. Recall the mathematical term and function of the flat monthly rate ({}28.80) within the linear inequality model (i.e., whether it acts as a constant/initial value or a variable rate/coefficient).
