- Museum A natural history museum borrows $2,000,000 at simple annual interest to purchase new exhibits. Some of the money is borrowed at 7%, some at 8.5%, and some at 9.5%. Use a system of linear equations to determine how much is borrowed at each rate given that the total annual interest is $169,750 and the amount borrowed at 8.5% is four times the amount borrowed at 9.5%. Solve the system of linear equations using matrices.arrow_forwardSolve the system of equations using a matrix: {x+yz=02x+4y2z=63x+6y3z=9 .arrow_forwardCAPSTONE The dimension of the row space of a 35 matrix A is 2. a What is the dimension of the column space of A? b What is the rank of A? c What is the nullity of A? d What is the dimension of the solution space of the homogeneous system Ax=0?arrow_forward
- One hundred liters of a 50% solution is obtained by mixing a 60% solution with a 20% solution. Use a system of linear equations to determine how many liters of each solution are required to obtain the desired mixture. Solve the system using matrices.arrow_forwardCompare solving the linear system below to solving it using its associated augmented matrix. 2x+yz=34x2y+2z=26x+5y+4z=10arrow_forward
