A vendor sells hot dogs and corn dogs at three different locations. His total sales(in hundreds) for January and February from the three locations are given in the table below.
JANUARY | FEBRUARY | ||||
HOT DOGS | CORN DOGS | HOT DOGS | CORN DOGS | ||
PLACE I | 10 | 8 | 8 | 7 | |
PLACE II | 8 | 6 | 6 | 7 | |
PLACE III | 6 | 4 | 6 | 5 |
Represent these tables as 3×2 matrices J and F, and answer problems 1 - 5.
1) Determine total sales for the two months, that is, find J+F. | 2) Find the difference in sales, J−F. |
3) If hot dogs sell for $3 and corn dogs for $2, find the revenue from the sale of hot dogs and corn dogs. Hint: Let P be a 2×1 matrix. Find (J+F)P. |
4) If March sales will be up from February by 10%, 15%, and 20% at Place I, Place II, and Place III, respectively, find the expected number of hot dogs and corn dogs to be sold |
5) Hots dogs sell for $3 and corn dogs sell for $2. Using matrix M that predicts the number of hot dogs and corn dogs expected to be sold in March from problem (4), find the 1×1 matrix that predicts total revenue in March. Hint: Use 2×1 price matrix P from problem (3) and find MP. |
Determine the sums and products in problems 6-13. Given the matrices A, B, C, and D as follows:
A=[361013241]B=[1−12142311]C=[123]D=[232]
6) 3A−2B | 7) AB |
8) BA | 9) AB+BA |
10) A2 | 11) 2BC |
12) 2CD+3AB | 13) A2B |
14) Let E=[mnpq] and F=[abcd], find EF. |
15) Let E=[mnpq] and F=[abcd], find FE. |
16) Let G=[361013241] and H=[xyz], find GH. |
17) Let G=[361013241] and H=[xyz]. Explain why the product HG does not exist. |
Express the following systems as AX=B, where A, X, and B are matrices.
18) 4x−5y=65x−6y=7 |
19) x−2y+2z=3x−3y+4z=7x−2y−3z=−12 |
20) 2x+3z=173x−2y=105y+2z=11 |
21) x+2y+3z+2w=14x−2y−z=−5y−2z+4w=9x+3z+3w=15 |
