Increasing a right-hand-side resource limit generally expands the feasible region by moving its corresponding constraint boundary outward.
Increasing the RHS resource limit usually makes the feasible region larger because the constraint becomes less restrictive. The boundary shifts outward, allowing more possible solutions.
Increasing a right-hand side (RHS) resource limit generally expands the feasible region because the constraint becomes less restrictive.
For example, if a constraint changes from 2X₁ + X₂ ≤ 100 to 2X₁ + X₂ ≤ 150, more combinations of X₁ and X₂ become feasible, so the feasible region becomes larger or stays the same.
