Question # 5:
A large apartment building is to be built using modular con-
struction techniques. The arrangement of apartments on any
particular floor is to be chosen from one of three basic floor
plans. Plan A has 18 apartments on one floor, including
3 three-bedroom units, 7 two-bedroom units, and 8 one-
bedroom units. Each floor of plan B includes 4 three-bedroom
units, 4 two-bedroom units, and 8 one-bedroom units. Each
floor of plan C includes 5 three-bedroom units, 3 two-bedroom
units, and 9 one-bedroom units. Suppose the building contains
a total of x1 floors of plan A, x2 floors of plan B, and x3 floors
of plan C.
a. What interpretation can be given to the vector x 7 ?
8
b. Write a formal linear combination of vectors that expresses
the total numbers of three-, two-, and one-bedroom apart-
ments contained in the building.
c. [M] Is it possible to design the building with exactly 66
three-bedroom units, 74 two-bedroom units, and 136 one-
bedroom units? If so, is there more than one way to do it?
Explain your answer.
Branch of mathematics concerned with mathematical structures that are closed under operations like addition and scalar multiplication. It is the study of linear combinations, vector spaces, lines and planes, and some mappings that are used to perform linear transformations. Linear algebra also includes vectors, matrices, and linear functions. It has many applications from mathematical physics to modern algebra and coding theory.
