In optimization models, the formula for the objective function cell directly references decision variables cells. In complicated cases there may be intermediate calculations, and the logical relation between objective function and decision variables be indirect.
To formulate the objective function and constraints, first define the decision variables clearly, such as (x_1, x_2, \ldots, x_n) representing quantities of products or resources. The objective function is typically expressed as a linear equation that maximizes or minimizes a certain value, like profit or cost, using these variables (e.g., maximize (Z = c_1x_1 + c_2x_2 + \ldots + c_nx_n)). Constraints should represent the limitations or requirements of the problem, such as resource availability or demand, often written in the form (a_1x_1 + a_2x_2 + \ldots + a_nx_n \leq b) for inequalities. Ensure all variables meet non-negativity constraints, such as (x_i \geq 0) for all (i).
It is a process by which a linear function of several variables, called the objective function, is maximised or minimised when it is subject to one or more linear constraints in the same variables.
A function.
A function relationship between two or more variables, inputs and outputs, where each and every value input has a uniqueoutput.
It is a programming problem in which the objective function is to be optimised subject to a set of constraints. At least one of the constraints or the objective functions must be non-linear in at least one of the variables.
The three common elements of an optimization problem are the objective function, constraints, and decision variables. The objective function defines what is being optimized, whether it's maximization or minimization. Constraints are the restrictions or limitations on the decision variables that must be satisfied. Decision variables are the values that can be controlled or adjusted to achieve the best outcome as defined by the objective function.

Monotonic transformations do not change the relationship between variables in a mathematical function. They only change the scale or shape of the function without altering the overall pattern of the relationship.
A monotonic transformation is a mathematical function that preserves the order of values in a dataset. It does not change the relationship between variables in a mathematical function, but it can change the scale or shape of the function.
It is a process by which a linear function of several variables, called the objective function, is maximised or minimised when it is subject to one or more linear constraints in the same variables.
To convert a primal linear programming problem into its dual, we first identify the primal's objective function and constraints. If the primal is a maximization problem with ( m ) constraints and ( n ) decision variables, the dual will be a minimization problem with ( n ) constraints and ( m ) decision variables. The coefficients of the primal objective function become the right-hand side constants in the dual constraints, while the right-hand side constants of the primal constraints become the coefficients in the dual objective function. Additionally, the direction of inequalities is reversed: if the primal constraints are ( \leq ), the dual will have ( \geq ) constraints, and vice versa.
The relationship is a function if a vertical line intersects the graph at most once.
A function.
A function expresses the relationship between two or more variables. A function can be expressed as a mathematical equation or as a graph. In general, a function expresses a the effect an independent variable has on the dependent variable..For example, in the classic linear function:y = mx + bx and y are the variables (m is said to be the slope, and b is the constant). This function expresses the mathematical relationship between the variables x and y. In this function, x is said to be the independent variable, and the function destines the y variable to be dependent upon the value of x.

: It depicts a relationship between output and a given input.
