Answer:

(a) Order of matrix B is 7 × 1 and order of matrix AB is 4 × 1.

(b) Order of matrix A is 5 × 5.

(c) The order of matrix B is 5 × 7.

Step-by-step explanation:

The product of two matrices is possible if and only if column of first matrix is equal to row of second matrix.

If A is an n × m matrix and B is an m × o matrix, their matrix product AB is an n × p matrix,

(a)

It is given that order of matrix A is 4 x 7.

B is a column matrix. It means the number of column in matrix B is 1.

Let the order of matrix B = n × 1

Product of matrices A and B is possible if and only if column of matrix A is equal to row of matrix B.

n=7

Order of matrix B is 7 × 1

A_{4\times 7}B_{7\times 1}=AB_{4\times 1}

Order of matrix AB is 4 × 1.

(b)

Order of matrix B = 5 × 5

It is given that A is the identity matrix.

Identity matrix is a square matrix having 1s on the main diagonal, and 0s everywhere else.

So, order of matrix A is equal to order of matrix B.

Order of matrix A = 5 × 5

Therefore order of matrix A is 5 × 5.

(c)

Order of matrix A = 4 × 5

Order of matrix AB = 4 × 7

Let Order of matrix B = n × m

A_{4\times 5}B_{n\times m}=AB_{4\times 7}

Product of A and B are possible if and only if n=5.

A_{4\times 5}B_{5\times m}=AB_{4\times 7}

AB_{4\times m}=AB_{4\times 7}

On comparing both sides, we get

m=7

Therefore the order of matrix B is 5 × 7.

Jan spent the day at the mall. She came home with $9.50. She spent $5.25 on earrings and 3 times that amount on a shirt. How muc
ki77a [65]

Answer:

She took $30.50 to the mall originally

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us solve the problem step by step

∵ She spent $5.25 on earrings

∵ The price of the shirt is 3 times the price of the earrings

∴ The price of the shirt = 3 × 5.25 = 15.75

∴ She spent $15.75 on the shirt

Find her total spending in the mall by adding the prices of earrings and the shirt

∴ She spent = 5.25 + 15.75 = 21

∴ She spent $21 on the mall

∵ She came home with $9.50

∵ She spent $21 on the mall

- Add them to find her original amount of money

∴ She took = 21 + 9.50 = 30.50

∴ She took $30.50 to the mall originally
