William's and Michael's stock holdings are given by the matrix C GI (B) 1 \(A=\begin{array}{l}\text { William } \\ \text { Michael }\end{array}\left[\begin{array}{lllr}200 & 300 & 100 & 200 \\ 100 & 200 & 400 & 0\end{array}\right]\) At the close of trading on a certain day, the prices (in dollars per share) of the stocks are given by the matrix $$ \begin{array}{c} \mathrm{BAC} \\ B=\mathrm{GM} & 54 \\ \mathrm{IBM} & 48 \\ \mathrm{TRW} & 98 \\ 82 \end{array} $$ a. Find \(A B\) b. Explain the meaning of the entries in the matrix \(A B\).
Let $$ A=\left[\begin{array}{ll} 3 & 0 \\ 8 & 0 \end{array}\right] \text { and } B=\left[\begin{array}{ll} 0 & 0 \\ 4 & 5 \end{array}\right] $$ Show that \(A B=0\), thereby demonstrating that for matrix multiplication the equation \(A B=0\) does not imply that one or both of the matrices \(A\) and \(B\) must be the zero matrix.
\(e\) $$ A=\left[\begin{array}{rr} 2 & 2 \\ -2 & -2 \end{array}\right] $$ Show that \(A^{2}=0\). Compare this with the equation \(a^{2}=0\), where \(a\) is a real number.
A private investment club has a certain amount of money earmarked for investment in stocks. To arrive at an acceptable overall level of risk, the stocks that management is considering have been classified into three categories: high risk, medium risk, and low risk. Management estimates that high-risk stocks will have a rate of return of \(15 \% /\) year; medium-risk stocks, \(10 \% /\) year; and low-risk stocks, \(6 \%\) /year. The members have decided that the investment in low-risk stocks should be equal to the sum of the investments in the stocks of the other two categories. Determine how much the club should invest in each type of stock in each of the following scenarios. (In all cases, assume that the entire sum available for investment is invested.) a. The club has \(\$ 200,000\) to invest, and the investment goal is to have a return of \(\$ 20,000 /\) year on the total investment. b. The club has \(\$ 220,000\) to invest, and the investment goal is to have a return of \(\$ 22,000 /\) year on the total investment. c. The club has \(\$ 240,000\) to invest, and the investment goal is to have a return of \(\$ 22,000 /\) year on the total investment.
Solve the system of linear equations using the Gauss-Jordan elimination method. $$ \begin{aligned} -x_{2}+x_{3} &=2 \\ 4 x_{1}-3 x_{2}+2 x_{3} &=16 \\ 3 x_{1}+2 x_{2}+x_{3} &=11 \end{aligned} $$
