Concept explainers
The number of calories burned per hour for three activities is given in matrix N for a 140-lb woman training for a triathlon. The time spent on each activity for two different training days is given in matrix T.
a. Which product NT or TN gives the total number of calories burned from these activities for each day?
b. Find a matrix that gives the total number of calories burned from these activities for each day.

- Solve for x and y in the matrix equation 2AB=I, given A=[1123] and B=[x2y5].arrow_forwardSolve for x,y,z and w in the matrix equation wxyx=-432-1+2ywzx.arrow_forwardA factory manufactures three products (doohickies, gizmos, and widgets) and ships them to two warehouses for storage. The number of units of each product shipped to each warehouse is given by the matrix A=[20015010075100125] (where aij is the number of units of product i sent to warehouse j and the products are taken in alphabetical order). The cost of shipping one unit of each product by truck is $1.50 per doohickey, $1.00 per gizmo, and $2.00 per widget. The corresponding unit costs to ship by train are $1.75, $1.50, and $1.00. Organize these costs into a matrix B and then use matrix multiplication to show how the factory can compare the cost of shipping its products to each of the two warehouses by truck and by train.arrow_forward
