The reduced gradient is analogous to the __________ for linear models.
A)binary variable
B)binding constraint
C)reduced cost
D)objective coefficient

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The reduced gradient is the negative of the reduced cost, which is the rate at which the objective function would decrease if the corresponding decision variable were decreased by one unit. The reduced cost is analogous to the objective coefficient for linear models, as both represent the rate of change of the objective function with respect to a particular decision variable. Therefore, the correct answer is C, reduced cost.
