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.

(a) A 2 by 3 matrix =500350400700500850

A 3 by 2 matrix =500700350500400850

(b) A 3 by 1 matrix =1583

(c) The 2 by 1 matrix 1150017050

(d) The 1 by 2 matrix0.100.05

(e) The total cost of the day's production is$2002.5

Step by step solution

01

Step 1. Given information

On certain day 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 aluminum containers were manufactured: 700 with 10-gal capacity, 500 with 5-gal capacity, and 850 with 1-gal capacity.

02

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

The table represents the given data

Containers(stainless steel)500350400
Containers(aluminium)700500850
Capacity1051

A 2 by 3 matrix formed from this data will be 500350400700500850

A 3 by 2 matrix representing the same data will be500700350500400850

03

Step 3. (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.

The table represents the amount of material used for each container

Amount of material used1583
Capacity1051

A 3 by 1 matrix formed from this data will be1583

04

Step 4. (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’s usage of material.

For finding the day's ge of materials,multiplay the two matrices 1583and500350400700500850

5003504007005008501583=500x15+350x8+400x3700x15+500x8+850x32x33x12x1=11,50017,050

The 1 by 2 matrix representing the cost per pound for the material used is0.100.05

05

Step 5. (d) If stainless steel costs Acme $0.10 lb and aluminum costs $0.05 lb, find a 1 by 2 matrix representing cost.

The table represents the cost per pound for the material used

Cost per pound0.10 0.05

The 1 by 2 matrix representing the cost per pound for the material used is0.100.05

06

step 6. (e) Multiply the matrices found in parts (c) and (d) to determine the total cost of the day’s production.

For finding the total cost of the day's production,multiplay the matrices 1150017050and0.100.05

11500170500.100.05=11500(0.10)+17050(0.05)=1150+852.5=2002.5

Therefore,the total cost of the day's production is$2002.5

Cryptography; One method of encryption is to use a matrix to encrypt the message and then use the corresponding inverse matrix to decode the message. The encrypted matrix, E, is obtained by multiplying the message matrix, M, by a key matrix, K. The original message can be retrieved by multiplying the encrypted matrix by the inverse of the key matrix. That is, E=MKand M=EK-1.

(a) Given the key matrix K=211110111, find its inverse, K-1. [Note: This key matrix is known as the Q23Fibonacci encryption matrix.]

(b) Use your result from part (a) to decode the encrypted matrix E=473433443627474120

(c) Each entry in your result for part (b) represents the position of a letter in the English alphabet (A=1,B=2,C=3,and so on). What is the original message?

A cookie company makes three kinds of cookies, oatmeal raisin, chocolate chip, and shortbread, packaged in small, medium, and large boxes. The small box contains 1dozen oatmeal raisin and 1dozen chocolate chip; the medium box has 2dozen oatmeal raisin, 1dozen chocolate chip, and 1dozen shortbread; the large box contains 2dozen oatmeal raisin, 2dozen chocolate chip, and 3dozen shortbread. If you require exactly 15dozen oatmeal raisin, 10dozen chocolate chip, and 11 dozen shortbread, how many of each size box should you buy?
