Determine if the statements below are True or False. If it's True, expļain why. If it's False, explain why not, or simply give an example demonstrating why it's false. A correct choice of "True" or "False" with no explanation will not receive any credit. (a) A 4 x 5 system of linear equations can have exactly one solution. (b) If the the augmented matrix of a 7 x 10 homogeneous system has 2 rows of zeroes in RREF, then the system has 5 basic solutions. (c) If A and B are symmetric matrices, then any linear combination of A and B is also symmetric.

Floral Design: A florist is creating 10 centerpieces. Roses cost $2.50 each, lilies cost $4 each, and irises cost $2 each. The customer has a budget of $300 allocated for the centerpieces and wants each centerpiece to contain 12 flowers, with twice as many roses as the number of irises and lilies combined. (a) Write a system of linear equations that represents the situation. Then write a matrix equation that corresponds to your system. (b) Solve your system of linear equations using an inverse matrix. Find the number of flowers of each type that the florist can use to create the 10 centerpieces.
