Chapter 11: Q. 57 (page 714)

In 2005 there was a total of 55 commercial

and noncommercial orbital launches worldwide. In addition, the number of noncommercial orbital launches was one more than twice the number of commercial orbital launches. Determine the number of commercial and noncommercial orbital launches in 2005.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The number of commercial satellites launched were 18 and the number of non-commercial satellites launched were 37

Step by step solution

01

Given information

There are total 55 satellites are launched in the space

02

Find the equation and solve them

Let number of commercial satellites launched be x

And number of non-commercial satellites launched be y

Total 55 satellites were launched

Hence

x+y=55(1)

Also the number of noncommercial orbital launches was one more than twice the number of commercial orbital launches.

hence

y=2x+1(2)

Substitute equation 2 in equation 1 we get,

x+y=55x+2x+1=553x=54x=18

Also

x+y=55y=55-18y=37

03

Conclusion

hence the number of commercial stellites launched were 18 and the number of non-commercial satellites launched were 37

Kelly has \(20,000 to invest. As her financial

planner, you recommend that she diversify into three investments: Treasury bills that yield 5% simple interest, Treasury bonds that yield 7% simple interest, and corporate bonds that yield 10% simple interest. Kelly wishes to earn \)1390 per year in income. Also, Kelly wants her investment in Treasury bills to be $3000

more than her investment in corporate bonds. How much money should Kelly place in each investment?

Computing the Cost of Production The Acme Steel Company is a producer of stainless steel and aluminum containers. On a certain day, the following stainless steel containers were manufactured: 500 with 10-gallon (gal) capacity, 350 with 5-gal capacity, and 400 with 1-gal capacity. On the same day, the following aluminum containers were manufactured: 700 with 10-gal capacity, 500 with 5-gal capacity, and 850 with 1-gal capacity.

(a) Find a 2 by 3 matrix representing these data. Find a 3 by 2 matrix to represent the same data.

(b) If the amount of material used in the 10-gal containers is 15 pounds (lb), the amount used in the 5-gal containers is 8 lb, and the amount used in the 1-gal containers is 3 lb, find a 3 by 1 matrix representing the amount of material used.

(c) Multiply the 2 by 3 matrix found in part (a) and the 3 by 1 matrix found in part (b) to get a 2 by 1 matrix showing the day鈥檚 usage of material.

(d) If stainless steel costs Acme \(0.10 lb and aluminum costs \)0.05 lb, find a 1 by 2 matrix representing cost.

(e) Multiply the matrices found in parts (c) and (d) to determine the total cost of the day鈥檚 production.
