For most of the class, the linear programming question will be the only question we prepare for in section B of paper 2. You re-use your co-ordinate geometry and algebra skills (particularly linear inequalities and simultaneous equations) which you need anyway for other parts of the exam. The linear programming problem is quite formulaic - if you practice a few you will see the pattern and be able to get a good mark on this part of the exam. Don't forget to write the answer as an english sentence at the end of your answer.
The linear programming question is almost always in two parts.
a) worth 15 marks asks about half-planes
b) is the linear programming problem.
Homework this evening involves solving the question from 2000 (paper 2 Question 11).
Here is a 1-page overview of this question.
