Problem 52
In Exercises 47-52, if possible, find (a) \(AB\), (b) \(BA\), and (c) \(A^2\). (Note: \(A^2 = AA\).) \(A=\left[\begin{array}{r} 3 & 2 & 1 \end{array}\right]\), \(B=\left[\begin{array}{r} 2 \\ 3 \\ 0 \end{array}\right]\)
Problem 69
PRODUCTION In Exercises 69-72, a small home business creates muffins, bones, and cookies for dogs. In addition to other ingredients, each muffin requires 2 units of beef, 3 units of chicken, and 2 units of liver. Each bone requires 1 unit of beef, 1 unit of chicken, and 1 unit of liver. Each cookie requires 2 units of beef, 1 unit of chicken, and 1.5 units of liver. Find the numbers of muffins, bones, and cookies that the company can create with the given amounts of ingredients. 700 units of beef 500 units of chicken 600 units of liver
