- Can any matrix be written as a system of linear equations? Explain why or why not. Explain how to write that system of equations.arrow_forwardWrite the system of equations that corresponds to the augmented matrix: [112321214120] .arrow_forwardWhat operations can be performed on a linear system to arrive at an equivalent system?arrow_forward
- Determine if the statement is true or false. If the statement is false, then correct it and make it true. For the product of two matrices to be defined, the number of rows of the first matrix must equal the number of columns of the second matrix.arrow_forwardExplain the difference between the row-echelon form and the reduced row-echelon form of a matrix.arrow_forwardCan any system of linear equations be written as an augmented matrix? Explain why or why not. Explain how to write that augmented matrix.arrow_forward
- Determine if the statement is true or false. If the statement is false, then correct it and make it true. A 75 matrix has 5 rows.arrow_forwardCan you explain whether a 2×2 matrix with an entire row of zeros can have an inverse?arrow_forwardReferring to Exercise 19, suppose that the unit cost of distributing the products to stores is the same for each product but varies by warehouse because of the distances involved. It costs $0.75 to distribute one unit from warehouse 1 and $1.00 to distribute one unit from warehouse 2. Organize these costs into a matrix C and then use matrix multiplication to compute the total cost of distributing each product.arrow_forward
