A company manufactures two products. For $1.00 worth of product B, the company spends $.45 on materials, $.25 on labor, and $.15 on overhead. For $1.00 worth of product C, the company spends $.40 on materials, $.30 on labor, and $.15 on overhead. (a) Create two column vectors which represent the “costs per dollar of income” for the two products.

Consider the following vectors: u = (1, −2, −1), v = (-2, 1, 8) Without using the cross product, find a vector n which is orthogonal to both u and U. You need to use a notion from chapter 5 to set up a system of linear equations, then use RREF to solve the system. Explain why this method works.
A bagel shop sells different kinds of bagels: onion, chocolate chip, sunflower, and wheat. The selling price for all bagels is $0.50 except for the chocolate chip which are $0.55. 1. How can we represent this information as a vector? Call this result P. 2. Each bagel costs a different amount to produce. We can display this information in an expense vector E = (0.32, 0.38, 0.29, 0.27). Let I = (I,I2, I3, I4) be the inventory vector which lists the number available of each kind of bagel and let C = (C1, C2, C3, C4) represent the consumption vector (ie, the vector listing the number of bagels sold each day).
