A mining company has two mines. One day's operation at mine #1 produces ore that contains 10 metric tons of copper and 580 kilograms of silver, while one day's operation at mine #2 produces ore that contains 40 metric tons of copper and 550 kilograms of silver. Let v₁ = and V2 Then v₁ and v2 represent the "output per day" of mine #1 and mine #2, respectively. Complete parts (a) through (c) below. 10 580 40 550 a. What physical interpretation can be given to the vector 3v1? A. It is the output at mine #2 after 3 days of operation. OB. It is the output of silver at mine #1 after 3 days of operation. C. It is the output of copper at mine #1 after 3 days of operation. D. It is the output at mine #1 after 3 days of operation. b. Suppose the company operates mine #1 for x₁ days and mine #2 for x2 days. Write a vector equation in terms of v₁ and V2 whose solution gives the number of days each mine should operate in order to produce 130 tons of copper and 2584 kilograms of silver. Do not solve the equation. V₁+V2= (Type an integer or decimal for each matrix element.)
