What will be the value of result.success after running this code?
from scipy.optimize import minimize

obj = lambda x: x[0]**2 + x[1]**2
cons = [{'type': 'eq', 'fun': lambda x: x[0] - 1}, {'type': 'ineq', 'fun': lambda x: x[1] - 1}]
result = minimize(obj, [0, 0], constraints=cons)
print(result.success)
ANone
BFalse
CRaises an error
DTrue
Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:
  1. Step 1: Analyze constraints and objective

    Objective minimizes sum of squares. Constraints fix x0=1 and require x1>=1.
  2. Step 2: Check feasibility and optimization result

    Starting at [0,0], optimizer can find feasible point [1,1] with objective 2. Optimization should succeed.
  3. Final Answer:

    True -> Option D
  4. Quick Check:

    Feasible constraints lead to success = True [OK]
Quick Trick: Check if constraints allow feasible solution [OK]
Common Mistakes:
  • Assuming failure due to initial guess
  • Confusing eq and ineq constraints
  • Expecting error without syntax issues
