Constraint

A constraint is a condition in a linear programming problem, written as a linear inequality such as x+y10x+y\le 10, that limits the possible values of the variables. Each constraint comes from a real restriction in the situation.

Together, the constraints define the region of allowed solutions.

Meaning

A constraint is a condition in a linear programming problem, written as a linear inequality such as x+y10x+y\le 10, that limits the possible values of the variables. Each constraint comes from a real restriction in the situation.

Together, the constraints define the region of allowed solutions.

Where it appears in Add Math

You meet Constraint in the Linear Programming chapter of SPM Additional Mathematics. Knowing the term precisely matters in the exam: questions often hinge on reading a keyword correctly, and because SPM marking is analytic, using the right definition in your working helps secure method marks.

Our teachers make sure a student can not only recite what Constraint means but use it fluently in a full solution.

The term in three languages

Because the SPM Add Math paper is bilingual (BM/EN), it helps to know this term in each language: Constraint (EN) · Kekangan (BM) · 约束条件 (中文)
