Explain.arrow_forwardDecoding a Message: The cryptogram below was encoded with a 22matrix. 52251127151532148133819193716 The last word of the message is SUE.What is the message?arrow_forwardTrue or false? det(A) is defined only for a square matrix A.arrow_forward
- Nutrition Refer to Exercise 61. Suppose food type C has been improperly labeled, and it actually contains 4 mg of folic acid, 6 mg of choline, and 5 mg of inositol per ounce. Would it still be possible to use matrix inversion to solve parts (b), (c), and (d) of Exercise 61? Why or why not?arrow_forwardProof Prove that if A is row-equivalent to B, then B is row-equivalent to A.arrow_forwardProof Let A be a nonsingular matrix. Prove that if B is row-equivalent to A, then B is also nonsingular.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_forwardCAPSTONE In your own words, describe the difference between a matrix in row-echelon form and a matrix in reduced row echelon form. Include an example of each to support your explanation.arrow_forwardMatrix Size In Exercises 29-36, let A,B,C,D,andE be matrices with the size shown below. A:34 B:34 C:42 D:42 E:43 If defined, determine the size of the matrix. If not defined, explain why. 29. A+Barrow_forward
- Referring 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_forwardExplain the difference between a square matrix and its determinant. Give an example of each.arrow_forwardFinding the Nullspace of a MatrixIn Exercises 27-40, find the nullspace of the matrix. A=[161483805]arrow_forward
