The entries in the associated slack column of the final tableau indicate the changes in the values of the current basic variables corresponding to a one-unit increase in the right-hand side.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The slack column represents the amount of slack or surplus in each constraint. A one-unit increase in the right-hand side of a constraint corresponds to adding one unit of slack to that constraint. Since the basic variables are defined as the variables that enter the basis at zero level, a one-unit increase in the right-hand side will increase the value of the corresponding basic variable by one unit.
