Simplex - does the matrix for tableau contains $I$ or have $I$ attached

31 Views Asked by At

I'm getting a bit mixed up with what these notes are referring to for $A$.

Here's an example : enter image description here

This is expressed in tableau as follows

enter image description here

Which, I think, should be found from the following : enter image description here

But in the top middle cell there is $A_B^{-1}A_N$, and I'm not sure what would be $A_N$ for the example problem.

Assuming that, for the example, the matrix is

$$ A = \pmatrix{1 & 2 \\ 1 & -1} $$

Which is what I feel that it should be, but that table with $A_B^{-1}A_N$ is confusing me a bit
