- Satellite Television: Two competing companies offer satellite television to a city with 100,000 households. Gold Satellite System has 25,000 subscribers and Galaxy Satellite Network has 30,000 subscribers. (The other 45,000 households do not subscribe.) The matrix shows the percent changes in satellite subscriptions each year.

The average yields are 4.5 on AAA bonds, 5 on A bonds, and 9 on B bonds. You invest twice as much in B bonds as in A bonds. Let x, y, and z represent the amounts invested in AAA, A, and B bonds, respectively. { x+y+z=(totalinvestment)0.045x+0.05y+0.09z=(annualreturn)2yz=0 Use the inverse of the coefficient matrix of this system to find the amount invested in each type of bond for the given total investment and annual return.
