The entering basic variable is:
The leaving basic variable is: Why? Choose the basic variable that reaches zero first as the entering basic variable () is increased. |

What if we increase until (watch increase)? | ||
when . | ||
However is now negative, resulting in an infeasible solution. Therefore, cannot be the leaving basic variable. |
