Project Title: Vectors and Optimization
Objective: Use vectors and transformations, then solve an optimization problem.
Project Instructions:
- 1. Represent two vectors and perform one operation (addition or subtraction).
- 2. Draw one transformation on a simple shape (translation or rotation).
- 3. Set up two inequalities for a simple constraint problem.
- 4. Sketch the feasible region and identify the optimal point.
- 5. Consult your coach where necessary.
Evidence to Submit:
- • Vector representation and operation.
- • Transformation sketch.
- • Linear programming graph and solution.
Submission
