Perform the indicated matrix operations given that \(A, B,\) and \(C\) are defined as follows. If an operation is not defined, state the reason. $$ A=\left[\begin{array}{rr} {4} & {0} \\ {-3} & {5} \\ {0} & {1} \end{array}\right] \quad B=\left[\begin{array}{rr} {5} & {1} \\ {-2} & {-2} \end{array}\right] \quad C=\left[\begin{array}{rr} {1} & {-1} \\ {-1} & {1} \end{array}\right] $$ $$ A(C B) $$
Determine whether each statement makes sense or does not make sense, and explain your reasoning. I added matrices of the same order by adding corresponding elements.
Explaining the Concepts Describe how to use row operations and matrices to solve a system of linear equations.
Solve each system of equations using matrices. Use Gaussian elimination with back-substitution or Gauss-Jordan elimination. $$ \left\\{\begin{aligned} 3 w-4 x+y+z &=9 \\ w+x-y-z &=0 \\ 2 w+x+4 y-2 z &=3 \\ -w+2 x+y-3 z &=3 \end{aligned}\right. $$
Write a system of linear equations in three or four variables to solve. Then use matrices to solve the system. Imagine the entire global population as a village of precisely 200 people. The bar graph shows some numeric observations based on this scenario. (graph can't copy) Combined, there are 183 Asians, Africans, Europeans, and Americans in the village. The number of Asians exceeds the number of Africans and Europeans by \(70 .\) The difference between the number of Europeans and Americans is \(15 .\) If the number of Africans is doubled, their population exceeds the number of Europeans and Americans by \(23 .\) Determine the number of Asians, Africans, Europeans, and Americans in the global village.
