- B. Decrease in value of x
- C. Increase in value of x
- D. Decrease in value of z
Correct answer
Decrease in value of z
Explanation
Explanation In a maximization or minimization problem , the objective function represents the quantity being optimized (maximized or minimized). The coefficients of the variables in the objective function determine the direction of the optimization. A negative coefficient value in the objective function indicates that an increase in the value of the corresponding variable (x) leads to a decrease in the value of the objective function (z).
