Question

Find a 2 × 2 matrix A such that.
$\text{A}\begin{bmatrix}1&-2\\1&4\end{bmatrix}=6\text{I}_2$

✓

Answer

Let $\text{A}=\begin{bmatrix}\text{w}&\text{x}\\\text{y}&\text{z}\end{bmatrix}$
Now,
$\begin{bmatrix}\text{w}&\text{x}\\\text{y}&\text{z}\end{bmatrix}\begin{bmatrix}1&-2\\1&4\end{bmatrix}=6\text{I}_2$
$ \Rightarrow\begin{bmatrix}\text{w}+\text{x}&-2\text{w}+4\text{x}\\\text{y}+\text{z}&-2\text{y}+4\text{z}\end{bmatrix}=6\begin{bmatrix}1&0\\0&1\end{bmatrix}$
$\Rightarrow\begin{bmatrix}\text{w}+\text{x}&-2\text{w}+4\text{x}\\\text{y}+\text{z}&-2\text{y}+4\text{z}\end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix}6&0\\0&6\end{bmatrix}$
The corresponding elements of two equal matrices are equal.
$\therefore$ w + x = 6
⇒ w = 6 - x ...(1)
-2w + 4x = 0 ...(2)
Putting the value of w in eq. (2), we get
-2(6 - x) + 4x = 0
⇒ -12 + 2x + 4x = 0
⇒ -12 + 6x = 0
⇒ 6x = 12
⇒ x = 2
Putting the value of x in eq. (1), we get
w = 6 - 2
⇒ w = 4
Now,
y + z = 0
⇒ y = -z ...(3)
-2y + 4z = 6 ...(4)
Putting the value of y in eq. (4), we get
-2(-z) + 4z = 6
⇒ 2z + 4z = 6
⇒ 6z = 6
⇒ z = 1
Putting the value of z in eq. (3), we get
y = -1
$ \therefore\ \text{A}=\begin{bmatrix}4&2\\-1&1\end{bmatrix}$

Solve the following differential equation:

Amit's mathematics teacher has given him three very long lists of problems with the instruction to submit not more than 100 of them (correctly solved) for credit. The problem in the first set are worth 5 points each, those in the second set are worth 4 points each, and those in the third set are worth 6 points each. Amit knows from experience that he requires on the average 3 minutes to solve a 5 point problem, 2 minutes to solve a 4 point problem, and 4 minutes to solve a 6 point problem. Because he has other subjects to worry about, he can not afford to devote more than $3\frac{1}{2}$ hours altogether to his mathematics assignment. Moreover, the first two sets of problems involve numerical calculations and he knows that he cannot stand more than $2\frac{1}{2}$ hours work on this type of problem. Under these circumstances, how many problems in each of these categories shall he do in order to get maximum possible credit for his efforts? Formulate this as a LPP.

A dealer in rural area wishes to purchase a number of sewing machines. He has only ₹ 5,760 to invest and has space for at most 20 items for storage. An electronic sewing machine costs him ₹ 360 and a manually operated sewing machine ₹240. He can sell the sewing machine at a profit of ₹ 22 and a manually operated sewing machine at a profit of ₹ 18. Assuming that he can sell all the items that he can buy, how should he invest his money in order to maximize his profit? Make it as an LPP and solve it graphically.
