The following table presents the exports and imports of a country in three categories for the years 2005 and 2010.

Categorie             Exports (millions $)                  Imports (millions in $)

                              2000                  2010             2000                   2010

Agriculture          51,296                70,912           39,186                65,459

Manufacture       625,894              785,599         1,012,855           1,416,302

Minery                 13,479                34,711           135,367               332,500

Construct four matrices, one for each column of the table, whose dimension is 3 x 1. Use two of these matrices to determine matrix E, which will represent the trade balance for the year 2000 and matrix B, which will represent the trade balance for the year 2010. Apply the concepts of matrix algebra to determine the matrix E - F, which will compare both years. Apply the properties of the matrices to determine if the trade balance from 2000 to 2010 improved in some of the categories.
