Question:A lower triangular 3x3 matrix has rank 3 if (and only if) the product of its diagonal entries is nonzero.
If the rank of a 5 × 3 matrix A is 3, what is rref(A)?
In problems 29 through 32, let and .
31. Find an upper triangular matrix A such that where all the entries of A on above the diagonal are nonzero.
Make me a crown weighing 60 minae from a mixture of gold, bronze, tin, and wrought iron. Let the gold and bronze together form two-thirds of the weight, the gold and tin together three-fourths, and the gold and iron three-fifths. Tell me how much gold, tin, bronze, and iron you must use. (From the Greek Anthology by Metrodorus, century A.D.)
Balancing a chemical reaction. Consider the chemical reaction
,
where a, b, c, and d are unknown positive integers. The reaction must be balanced; that is, the number of atoms of each element must be the same before and after the reaction. For example, because the number of oxygen atoms must remain the same,
.
While there are many possible values for and d that balance the reaction, it is customary to use the smallest possible positive integers. Balance this reaction.
