Working with Bounds

Bound-constrained problems have variables that are limited to a range of values.

You're running a coffee shop and need to place an order for two varieties of coffee beans: b[0] and b[1]. You want to minimize costs. Your supplier only accepts minimum quantity orders of 2 units for each bean, and you can afford a maximum of 100 units per bean.

minimize and Bounds from scipy.optimize have been loaded for you and the objective function is provided.

Instructions

  • Set the lower and upper bound values for b[0] and b[1] as bounds.
  • Use scipy to find the minimum.
