The container of a breakfast cereal usually lists the number of calories and the amounts of protein, carbohydrate, and fat contained in one serving of the cereal. The amounts for two common cereals are given below. Suppose a mixture of these two cereals is to be prepared that contains exactly 295 calories, 9 g of protein, 48 g of carbohydrate, and 8 g of fat.
- a. Set up a
vector equation for this problem. Include a statement of what the variables in your equation represent. - b. Write an equivalent matrix equation, and then determine if the desired mixture of the two cereals can be prepared.
