Thank you for sharing the image! Let’s break this down step by step to solve each section of the questions provided in the image. Here’s how I will proceed:
Question 3: Classify matrices
We need to classify each matrix as symmetric, skew-symmetric, diagonal, scalar, upper triangular, or lower triangular:
- Symmetric:
- Skew-symmetric:
- Diagonal: All off-diagonal entries are zero.
- Scalar: Diagonal matrix with all diagonal entries equal.
- Upper triangular: All elements below the main diagonal are zero.
- Lower triangular: All elements above the main diagonal are zero.
Question 4: Reduced Row Echelon Form (RREF)
We’ll use Gaussian elimination to transform the matrices into their reduced row echelon form.
Question 5: Solve Systems of Linear Equations
We’ll apply the Gaussian Elimination method to solve the given systems.
Question 6: Matrix Inverses
For each matrix, we’ll compute the inverse using the formula or row reduction if the determinant is non-zero. For matrices, the inverse is: where .
For larger matrices, row reduction is used.
Question 7: Milk Mixture Problem
This is a system of linear equations. Let:
- : Amount of 20% butterfat milk
- : Amount of 15% butterfat milk
We’ll solve the system to satisfy both total volume and butterfat percentage.
