Answer:
A. 3×3
B. [0, 1, 5]
C. (rows, columns) = (# equations, # variables) for matrix A; vector x remains unchanged; vector b has a row for each equation.
Step-by-step explanation:
A. The matrix A has a row for each equation and a column for each variable. The entries in each column of a given row are the coefficients of the corresponding variable in the equation the row represents. If the variable is missing, its coefficient is zero.
This system of equations has 3 equations in 3 variables, so matrix A has dimensions ...
A dimensions = (rows, columns) = (# equations, # variables) = (3, 3)
Matrix A is 3×3.
__
B. The second row of A represents the second equation:
The coefficients of the variables are 0, 1, 5. These are the entries in row 2 of matrix A.
__
C. As stated in part A, the size of matrix A will match the number of equations and variables in the system. If the number of variables remains the same, the number of rows of A (and b) will reflect the number of equations. (The number of columns of A (and rows of x) will reflect the number of variables.)
The price of 1 drink is $ 4 and price of 1 pretzel is $ 4.25
<em><u>Solution:</u></em>
Let d" be the price of 1 drink
Let "p" be the price of 1 pretzel
Given that, Isabella went into a movie theater and bought 3 drinks and 10 pretzels, costing a total of $54.50
<em><u>Therefore, we can frame a equation as,</u></em>
3 x price of 1 drink + 10 x price of 1 pretzel = 54.50
3d + 10p = 54.5 ---------- eqn 1
Jason went into the same movie theater and bought 9 drinks and 5 pretzels, costing a total of $57.25
9 x price of 1 drink + 5 x price of 1 pretzel = 57.25
9d + 5p = 57.25 ---------- eqn 2
<em><u>Let us solve eqn 1 and eqn 2</u></em>
Multiply eqn 1 by 3
9d + 30p = 163.5 ----- eqn 3
<em><u>Subtract eqn 2 from eqn 3</u></em>
9d + 30p = 163.5
9d + 5p = 57.25
( - ) -----------------------
25p = 106.25
p = 4.25
<em><u>Substitute p = 4.25 in eqn 1</u></em>
3d + 10(4.25) = 54.5
3d + 42.5 = 54.5
3d = 54.5 - 42.5
3d = 12
d = 4
Thus price of 1 drink is $ 4 and price of 1 pretzel is $ 4.25
