- In the following exercises, perform the indicated operations on the augmented matrices. 206. [132221423|4 3 1] (a) Interchange rows 2 and 3 (b) Multiply row 1 by 4 (c) Multiply row 2 by 2 and add to row 3.arrow_forwardFor the following exercises, set up the augmented matrix that describes the situation, and solve for the desired solution. 58. The three most popular ice cream flavors are chocolate, strawberry, and vanilla, comprising 83% of the flavors sold at an ice cream shop. If vanilla sells 1% more than twice strawberry, and chocolate sells 11% more than vanilla, how much of the total ice cream consumption are the vanilla, chocolate, and strawberry flavors?arrow_forwardFor the following exercises, set up the augmented matrix that describes the situation, and solve for the desired solution. 52. Every day, a cupcake store sells 5,000 cupcakes in chocolate and vanilla flavors. If the chocolate flavor is 3 times as popular as the vanilla flavor, how many of each cupcake sell per day?arrow_forward
- For the following exercises, set up the augmented matrix that describes the situation, and solve for the desired solution. 53. At a competing cupcake store, $4,520 worth of cupcakes are sold daily. The chocolate cupcakes cost $2.25 and the red velvet cupcakes cost $1.75. If the total number of cupcakes sold per day is 2,200, how many of each flavor are sold each day?arrow_forwardConsider the matrix A=[2314]. Show that any of the three types of elementary row operations can be used to create a leading 1 at the top of the first column. Which do you prefer and why?arrow_forwardCan a matrix whose entry is 0 on the diagonal be solved? Explain why or why not. What would you do to remedy the situation?arrow_forward
- For the following exercises, set up the augmented matrix that describes the situation, and solve for the desired solution. 60. A bag of mixed nuts contains cashews, pistachios, and almonds. There are 1,000 total nuts in the bag, and there are 100 less almonds than pistachios. The cashews weigh 3 g, pistachios weigh 4 g, and almonds weigh 5 g. If the bag weighs 3.7 kg, find out how many of each type of nut is in the bag.arrow_forwardIs there only one correct method of using row operations on a matrix? Try to explain two different row operations possible to solve the augmented matrix [9312|06] .arrow_forwardFor the following exercises, set up the augmented matrix that describes the situation, and solve for the desired solution. 56. Bikes’R’Us manufactures bikes, which sell for $250. It costs the manufacturer $180 per bike, plus a startup fee of $3,500. After how many bikes sold will the manufacturer break even?arrow_forward
- For the following exercises, set up the augmented matrix that describes the situation, and solve for the desired solution. 61. A bag of mixed nuts contains cashews, pistachios, and almonds. Originally there were 900 nuts in the bag. 30% of the almonds, 20% of the cashews, and 10% of the pistachios were eaten, and now there are 770 nuts left in the bag. Originally, there were 100 more cashews than almonds. Figure out how many of each type of nut was in the bag to begin with.arrow_forwardFor the following exercises, perform the given matrix operations. det| 1 2 1 20 1 20 1 20 1 20|arrow_forwardCan a matrix with zeros on the diagonal have an inverse? If so, find an example. If not, prove why not. For simplicity, assume a 22 matrix.arrow_forward
