Función objetivo

The "Función objetivo" (objective function) is a mathematical formula used in optimization problems to measure how well a particular solution performs. It assigns a numerical value to each possible option, indicating its effectiveness or desirability. The goal is to find the solution that maximizes or minimizes this value, depending on the problem's context. For example, in business, it might represent profit, so the aim is to choose the options that yield the highest profit. Essentially, it provides a clear way to compare different solutions and identify the best one based on specific criteria.
