(a) The exact solution of the system
Which method is faster?
To compare the accuracy of the two methods, we can measure how close the computed solutions x and y are to the exact solution z. Do this with the commands.

- Solve for x,y and z in the matrix equation 4xyz-1=2yz-x1+24x5-x.arrow_forwardReferring to Exercise 19, suppose that the unit cost of distributing the products to stores is the same for each product but varies by warehouse because of the distances involved. It costs $0.75 to distribute one unit from warehouse 1 and $1.00 to distribute one unit from warehouse 2. Organize these costs into a matrix C and then use matrix multiplication to compute the total cost of distributing each product.arrow_forwardDetermine if the statement is true or false. If the statement is false, then correct it and make it true. For the product of two matrices to be defined, the number of rows of the first matrix must equal the number of columns of the second matrix.arrow_forward
- Solve for x,y,z and w in the matrix equation wxyx=-432-1+2ywzx.arrow_forwardLet A be an nn matrix in which the entries of each row sum to zero. Find |A|.arrow_forwardConsider the matrix A=[2314]. Show that any of the three types of elementary row operations can be used to create a leading 1 at the top of the first column. Which do you prefer and why?arrow_forward
