You've been offered a job at the Dunder Mifflin Paper Company as a Solver of Linear Equations. Your colleague Michael is great at solving systems of linear equations and he offers to give you a demonstration. He finds the LU factorization of a 300 x 300 matrix M in 13 seconds. He then takes another 2 seconds to apply both triangular substitutions (backward and forward) to solve the system of linear equations Mx = c for a given vector c. As Assistant to the Regional Manager, Dwight wants to test your knowledge and asks you to estimate the time t that takes to factorize and efficiently solve the system Ax = b, where A is a square matrix with dimension 1200, given 30 different right-hand side b vectors. Dwight says you should not solve the problem, but instead obtain your estimate using the information from Michael's demonstration. Provide your time estimate t in the answer box below.

You've been offered a job at the Dunder Mifflin Paper Company as a Solver of Linear Equations. Your
colleague Michael is great at solving systems of linear equations and he offers to give you a
demonstration.
He finds the LU factorization of a 300 x 300 matrix M in 13 seconds. He then takes another 2 seconds
to apply both triangular substitutions (backward and forward) to solve the system of linear equations
Mx = c for a given vector c.
As Assistant to the Regional Manager, Dwight wants to test your knowledge and asks you to estimate
the time t that takes to factorize and efficiently solve the system Ax = b, where A is a square matrix
with dimension 1200, given 30 different right-hand side b vectors. Dwight says you should not solve
the problem, but instead obtain your estimate using the information from Michael's demonstration.
Provide your time estimate t in the answer box below.
