Questions and Answers

What is optimization?

  • The search for variables that produce the worst values of objective functions
  • The organized search for designs and operating modes that meet specified goals and constraints (correct)
  • The process of setting unattainable goals for engineering systems
  • The process of designing and operating systems without any constraints

In optimization, what does the objective function represent?

  • The value to be maximized or minimized (correct)
  • The feasible range of the decision variables
  • The maximum value of the constraints
  • The minimum value of the decision variables

What does a single-objective optimization model include?

  • Only the objective function without any constraints
  • Several mathematical expressions, including an objective function and constraints (correct)
  • A list of unattainable goals for the engineering system
  • The maximum and minimum values of the decision variables
