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.

Mason will use a 1/3 gallon pitcher to fill an empty 3/4 gallon water jug. How much water will he need in order to completely fi
kirza4 [7]

Answer:

It's 1/2  I found this out by subtracting 3/4 - 1/3= 5/12 and if you put that into a decimal it would be .41. So that 1/4= .25 and 1/2= .50. You could figure out that it’s closed to 1/2.
