Unit 1. Exercise 5

Today we learned more about Matrix Multiplication but, just in a more complex way...Yay.....
So what it was all about was figuring out where to place the matrix's so that equation will work out and that it will be successful..
Nonsense ----> Nonsense
In Out
It's a bit confusing right now and i am not sure if i got the hang out it right now but, i just need to do more practice questions.

We did question #2 on Exercise 5 on our own and this is how it went down..
The question asked the weekly production of kitchen and bedroom suites..
(a) [30 10] [3] =[170]
[40 15] [8] [240]
(*You have to make sure you position the matrix right or else you can get nothingness*)

There are 3 factories for type A and 8 factories for type B. So we had to use matrix multiplication to find the weekly production. Which the answer is 170 Kitchen and 240 Bedrooms.

(b) Find the total market value of goods purchased.
SO take the weekly production and multiplied it by what the kitchen and bedroom sell for..
[170 240] [1500] = $783.000 total value.
[2200]

So the key for this is to think through the question logically to where to place the matrix
