Simplex Method & Pivoting on a Ti-nspire cx

We're glad you came by, but you might find what you're looking for elsewhere. TI-Basic Developer is not the site it once was. While its information on commands and other calculator features remains almost second-to-none, its forum, archives, and even hosting service, Wikidot, have been decaying for years. The calculator community would love to see what you're working on, or help you in your next coding adventure, but TI-Basic Developer is no longer the place to do it. Instead, you should head over to Cemetech (primarily American) or TI-Planet (primarily international). Both are active, well-established forums with their own archives, chatrooms, reference material, and abundant coding tools and resources. We'll see you there, we hope.

Simplex Method & Pivoting on a Ti-nspire cx

Hi, I was wondering if someone could help me with a question about the Ti-inspire cx? I’m currently taking Business & Finite math mathematics and we are in the last 4th section of the semester; over linear programming. Currently we are going over the Matrix simplex method & pivoting and I cannot figure out how to find/used or even download a Smplx programming on my Ti-nspire cx that I am using. I do not have a Ti-84/83 at my disposal. Can someone help me?

I learned the simplex method a long time ago and have since forgotten. How do you do it? (Note: Yes, I know Google exists, I have a different motivation.)

Also, does this help?

Simplex Method
1)Set the unknowns as the variables.
2)Determine the objective function.
3)Write the constraints.
4)Convert to a system of equations with slack variables.
5)Write the Initial Simplex Tableau
6)Find the pivot column-Most negative entry in the last row-If there is a tie, use the column furthest to the left
7)Find the pivot row-Smallest nonnegative ratio of constants to pivot column entries.-If there is no nonnegative ratio, then there is no maximum.-If there is a tie, use the row closest to the top.
8)Pivot
9)Repeat until all entries in last row are nonnegative.-If there is a 0 in the bottom row of a non-basic variable, then another solution can be found using this column as another pivot column.
10)Read the solution

Does this help?

By any chance did you try the program that I linked to?
