- 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_forwardDetermine whether the matrix is in row-echelon form. If it is, determine whether it is in reduced row-echelon form. 1024011130000arrow_forwardMatrix Size In Exercises 29-36, let A,B,C,D,andE be matrices with the size shown below.
