Question
If $\text{A}=\begin{bmatrix}1&1\\0&1\end{bmatrix},$ show that $\text{A}^2=\begin{bmatrix}1&2\\0&1\end{bmatrix}$ and $\text{A}^3=\begin{bmatrix}1&3\\0&1\end{bmatrix}.$

Answer

Given, $\text{A}=\begin{bmatrix}1&1\\0&1\end{bmatrix}$
Now,
$\text{A}^2=\text{AA}$
$\Rightarrow\text{A}^2=\begin{bmatrix}1&1\\0&1\end{bmatrix}\begin{bmatrix}1&1\\0&1 \end{bmatrix}$
$\Rightarrow\text{A}^2=\begin{bmatrix}1+0&1+1\\0+0&0+1\end{bmatrix}$
$\Rightarrow\text{A}^2=\begin{bmatrix}1&2\\0&1\end{bmatrix}$
$ \text{A}^3=\text{A}^2\text{A}$
$\Rightarrow\text{A}^3=\begin{bmatrix}1&2\\0&1 \end{bmatrix}\begin{bmatrix}1&1\\0&1\end{bmatrix}$
$\Rightarrow\text{A}^3=\begin{bmatrix}1+0&1+2\\0+0&0+1 \end{bmatrix}$
$\Rightarrow\text{A}^3=\begin{bmatrix}1&3\\0&1 \end{bmatrix}$
Hence proved.

A factory uses three different resources for the manufacture of two different products, 20 units of the resources A, 12 units of B and 16 units of C being available. 1 unit of the first product requires 2, 2 and 4 units of the respective resources and 1 unit of the second product requires 4, 2 and 0 units of respective resources. It is known that the first product gives a profit of 2 monetary units per unit and the second 3. Formulate the linear programming problem. How many units of each product should be manufactured for maximizing the profit? Solve it graphically.

An urn contains 3 red and 5 black balls. A ball is drawn at random, its colour is noted and returned to the urn. Moreover, 2 additional balls of the colour noted down, are put in the urn and then two balls are drawn at random (without replacement) from the urn. Find the probability that both the balls drawn are of red colour.
