- A factory manufactures three products (doohickies, gizmos, and widgets) and ships them to two warehouses for storage. The number of units of each product shipped to each warehouse is given by the matrix A=[20015010075100125] (where aij is the number of units of product i sent to warehouse j and the products are taken in alphabetical order). The cost of shipping one unit of each product by truck is $1.50 per doohickey, $1.00 per gizmo, and $2.00 per widget. The corresponding unit costs to ship by train are $1.75, $1.50, and $1.00. Organize these costs into a matrix B and then use matrix multiplication to show how the factory can compare the cost of shipping its products to each of the two warehouses by truck and by train.arrow_forwardWhat is the row-echelon form of a matrix?

- Nutrition A nutritionist is studying the effects of the nutrients folic acid, choline, and inositol. He has three types of food available, and each type contains the following amounts of these nutrients per ounce. (a) Find the inverse of the matrix [313424324] and use it to solve the remaining parts of this problem. (b) How many ounces of each food should the nutritionist feed his laboratory rats if he wants their daily diet to contain 10 mg of folic acid, 14 mg of choline, and 13 mg of inositol? (c) How much of each food is needed to supply 9 mg of folic acid, 12 mg of choline, and 10 mg of inositol? (d) Will any combination of these foods supply 2 mg of folic acid, 4 mg of choline, and 11 mg of inositol?arrow_forwardSolve for x,y,z and w in the matrix equation wxyx=-432-1+2ywzx.arrow_forwardSolve for a11, a12, a21 and a22 in the matrix equation a11a12a21a22=6324.arrow_forward
