Activity 1 (1) Math

1. The director solved the system of equations to determine how much to invest in a CD and bond to earn $7,800 in interest from a $100,000 trust fund. The solution was to invest $30,000 in the CD and $70,000 in the bond. 2. The total manufacturing and shipping costs of three models (A, B, C) produced by two factories are described by cost matrices. The total manufacturing cost of Model C is found by looking at the appropriate entry in the cost matrices. 3. Let p be a 3-vector of original prices. A 20% price reduction results in a price change vector of -0.2p and new price vector of 0

A. Find the unknown variables

1.
x + y=1
2 x− y=5
3 x+ 4 y =2
Solve by substitution
Solve equation 1 for the variable y:
(1) Y=-x +1
Plug this equation 1 for variable 2
(2) 2x-(-x+1)=5
2x+x-1=5
3x=6
3x/3=6/3
X=2
Plug this in variable y in equation 3
(3) 3x+4y=2
3x+4(-x+1)
3x-4x+4=2
-x=-4+2
X=2
Solve equation 2 for variable x
(2) 3x-6
(2)x=2
Plug this in for variable x in equation 3
(3)3x+4y=2
(3) 3(2) +4y=2
6+4y=2
4y=2-6
4y/4=-4/4
Y=-1

2. The director of a trust fund has $100.000 to invest. The rules of the trust state that both a certificate of deposit (CD) and
a long-term bond must be used. The director's goal is to have the trust yield P 7800 on its investments for the year. The CD
chosen returns 5% per annum. and the bond 9%. The director determines the amount x to invest in the CD and the
amount y to invest in the bond. How much must he invest in CD and in the long term bond?
X+y=100000
0.05x+o.09y=7800 } the 2 formulas work together
1)x= 100000-y
2) 0.05(100000-y)+0.08y=7800,500-0.05y+0.09y=7800 =.004y=2800
-y=70000
X=30000
3. A manufacturer of a certain product makes three models, A, B, and C.
Each model is partially made in factory FI in Taiwan and then finished in
factory F2 in the United States. The total cost of each product consists of
the manufacturing cost and the shipping cost. Then the costs at each
L1ctory (in dollars) can be described by the 2 x 2 matrices FI and F2:

a. How much is the total manufacturing product of Model C?


b. How much is the total shipping cost of Model A?
c. How much is the total manufacturing cost and shipping cost of
Model B?

4. Let

be a 3-vector that represents the current prices of three items at a store. Suppose that the store announces
a sale so that the price of each item is reduced by 20%

(a) Determine a 3-vector that gives the price changes for the three items.
(b) Determine a 3-vector that gives the new prices of the items.

Let the following be given for items 5-10.

If possible,
5. Find the C + E and E + C 8. (− A T )∧−( A T )
6. Find 2B + F 9. A x B
T T
7. A ∧( A ¿¿ T ) ¿ 10. C x E
