Estimate the total cost of 31 televisions at £196.50 each and 19 DVD players at £50.99 each

Gwar [14]

Answer:

Solution,

Cost of one television=£196.50

cost of 31 televisions:

 $= 196.50 \times 31 \\ = 6091.5$ 

Cost of one DVD player=£50.99

Cost of 19 DVD player:

 $= 50.99 \times 19 \\ = 968.81$ 

Now,

Total cost

= cost of 31 televisions + cost of 19 DVD player

=6091.5+968.81

=£7060.31

Hope this helps...

Good luck on your assignment..

Find a formula for the least squares solution of ax=b when the columns of a are orthonormal1 .

neonofarm [45]

Let $\mathbf A$ be a rectangular $m\times n$ matrix with column vectors $\mathbf a_1,\ldots,\mathbf a_n$ , i.e.

$\mathbf A=\begin{bmatrix}\mathbf a_1&\cdots&\mathbf a_n\end{bmatrix}$

Then we have

$\mathbf A^\top=\begin{bmatrix}\mathbf a_1&\cdots&\mathbf a_n\end{bmatrix}^\top$

and the product of the two is

$\mathbf A^\top\mathbf A=\begin{bmatrix}\mathbf a_1\cdot\mathbf a_1&\mathbf a_1\cdot\mathbf a_2&\cdots&\mathbf a_1\cdot\mathbf a_n\\\mathbf a_2\cdot\mathbf a_1&\mathbf a_2\cdot\mathbf a_2&\cdots&\mathbf a_2\cdot\mathbf a_n\\\vdots&\vdots&\ddots&\vdots\\\mathbf a_n\cdot\mathbf a_1&\mathbf a_n\cdot\mathbf a_2&\cdots&\mathbf a_n\cdot\mathbf a_n\end{bmatrix}$

Because the columns of $\mathbf A$ are orthonormal, we have

$\mathbf a_i\cdot\mathbf a_j=\begin{cases}1&\text{for }i=j\\0&\text{for }i\neq j\end{cases}$

which means $\mathbf A^\top\mathbf A$ reduces to an $n\times n$ matrix with ones along the diagonal and zero everywhere else, i.e.

$\mathbf A^\top\mathbf A=\begin{bmatrix}1&0&\cdots&0\\0&1&\cdots&0\\\vdots&\vdots&\ddots&\vdots\\0&0&\cdots&1\end{bmatrix}=\mathbf I_n$

where $\mathbf I$ denotes the identity matrix. This means the solution to $\mathbf{Ax}=\mathbf b$ is given by

$\mathbf A^\top(\mathbf{Ax})=\mathbf A^\top\mathbf b\implies(\underbrace{\mathbf A^\top\mathbf A}_{\mathbf I})\mathbf x=\mathbf A^\top\mathbf b\implies\mathbf x=\mathbf A^\top\mathbf b$
