Problem

Show that x=(1,1,1,0)x = (1,1,1,0) and y=(1,1,0,1)y = (1,1,0,1) are feasible in the primal and dual, with A=[0010010011111001],b=[1111],c=[1113].A = \begin{bmatrix} 0 & 0 & 1 & 0 \\ 0 & 1 & 0 & 0 \\ 1 & 1 & 1 & 1 \\ 1 & 0 & 0 & 1 \end{bmatrix}, \quad b = \begin{bmatrix} 1 \\ 1 \\ 1 \\ 1 \end{bmatrix}, \quad c = \begin{bmatrix} 1 \\ 1 \\ 1 \\ 3 \end{bmatrix}. Then, after computing cxcx and ybyb, explain how you know they are optimal.
