WS- Matrix Multiplication
All work must be done and neatly shown on a separate sheet of paper.
1. A furniture manufacturer produces upholstered chairs and wood tables. For
each chair, it takes 4 hours for a woodworker to build the frame, 2 hours for a
finisher to sand, stain and varnish the legs, and 12 hours for an upholsterer to
install the padding and fabric. For each table, it takes 18 hours for a
woodworker to cut and assemble the pieces and 15 hours for a finisher to
sand, stain, and varnish the table. No upholstery work is required for the table.
a. Organize this information in a 2 x 3 matrix called A.
b. The factory receives an order for 10 chairs and 3 tables. Represent this
information in a 1 x 2 matrix, B.
c. Multiply the two matrices to obtain the number of hours required for each
type of worker.
d. If woodworkers are paid $15 per hour, finishers are paid $9 per hour and
upholsterers earn $12 per hour, perform matrix multiplication to find the
total labor costs for the order.
2. In the problem above, suppose that in addition to the order for 10 chairs and 3
tables, the company receives three other orders: 8 chairs and 2 tables, 0
chairs and 4 tables, and 2 chairs and 1 table.
a. Write a 4 x 2 matrix to represent the four orders.
b. Perform matrix multiplication to find the labor cost for each order.
3. Every electrical appliance has a kilowatt rating. If you multiply the number of
kilowatts by the number of hours the appliance is in use, you obtain a unit of
energy, the kilowatt-hour (kwh). If a clothes iron has a kilowatt rating of 1.2 and
it is used for 2 hours, then it has used 2.4 kwh of energy.
a. An electric room heater is rated at 1.6 kilowatts, an electric dryer is rated
at 6 kilowatts, and an air conditioning unit is rated at 5 kilowatts. Represent
this data in a 1 x 3 matrix called A.
b. In the non-summer months, the heater is used 2000 hours, the dryer is
used 80 hours, and the air conditioner is not used. In the summer months,
the heater is not used, the dryer is used 40 hours, and the air conditioner
is used 400 hours. Represent this information in a 3 x 2 matrix called B.
c. In the non-summer months, the electric company charges $0.09 for each
kwh used. In the summer months, it charges $0.12 for each kwh.
Represent this data in a 2 x 1 matrix called C.
d. Find AB. What does it represent?
e. Find ABC. What does it represent?
4. A roofer needs plywood, building paper, shingles, nails, and flashing material.
He has three distributors available to him. Distributor #1 charges $8 per unit of
plywood, $10 per unit of building paper, $30 per unit of shingles, $2 per unit of
nails, and $6 per unit of flashing. Distributor #2 charges $6 per unit of plywood,
$8 per unit of building paper, $35 per unit of shingles, $3 per unit of nails, and
$5 per unit of flashing. Distributor #3 charges $10, $6, $32, $2, and $7 per unit,
respectively.
a. Represent this data in a 3 x 5 matrix called A.
b. The roofer has two jobs for which he must buy materials. The first job
requires 6 units of plywood, 7 units of building paper, 20 units of shingles,
8 units of nails, and 3 units of flashing. The second job requires 100, 10,
30, 12 and 8 units of these materials. Represent this data in a 5 x 2 matrix
called B.
c. Find the matrix AB. What does it represent?
d. The roofer wishes to purchase all of the materials for each job from one
distributor because then the distributor will deliver the goods to the job site
at no extra cost. Which distributor should he choose for the first job?
Which distributor should he choose for the second job?
5. A candy company packages caramels, chocolates, and hard candy in three
different assortments: traditional, deluxe and superb. The table below gives the
number of each type of candy in each assortment, the number of calories for
each type of candy, and the cost to make each piece.

assortments. Use matrix multiplication to find:
a. The number of each type of candy needed to fill the order.
b. The number of calories in each type of assortment.
c. The cost of producing each type of assortment.
d. The cost to fill the order.

WS- Eschelon Word Problems
For problems #1-6, define the variables and write a system of equations. Then
write the augmented matrix, the RREF, and give the solutions. All work must be
done and neatly shown on a separate sheet of paper.
1. Find the quadratic equation that fits the given points:
(-10, -88) (-2, -8) (2, -40)
2. Find the cubic equation that fits the given points:
(0, 1) (1, 2) (3, 21) (-1, 0)
3. A mile offshore on Lake Michigan, a fisherman searches for salmon. With an
electric thermometer, he finds the following readings (depth in feet,
temperature in °F):
(5, 71)
(20, 65)
(30, 60)
(45, 50)
a. Find a cubic equation to model the data.
b. If salmon swim in water at 55 °F, at what depth should he fish?
4. The pollution count for Big City on a particular day is 600. Assume that this
pollution is produced by three industries: coal, steel, and plastics. The coal
industry contributes twice as much to the pollution count as the steel industry.
It is known that the total pollution count would be 500 if the pollution count from
the coal industry were reduced by 50%. Find the pollution count for each
industry.
5. In an experiment involving mice, a zoologist needs a food mix that contains,
among other things, 23 g of protein, 6.2 g of fat, and 16 g of moisture. She has
on hand mixes of the following compositions: Mix A contains 20% protein, 2%
fat and 15% moisture. Mix B contains 10% protein, 6% fat and 10% moisture.
Mix C contains 15% protein, 5% fat and 5% moisture. How many grams of
each mix should be combined to produce the desired food mix?
6. A garment industry manufactures three different shirt styles. Each shirt
requires the services of three departments: cutting, sewing, and packaging.
The maximum hours available for each department are 1160, 1560, and 480
labor-hours per week, respectively. Style A requires 12 minutes for cutting, 18
min. for sewing and 6 min. for packaging. Style B requires 24 minutes for
cutting, 30 min. for sewing and 12 min. for packaging. Style C requires 18
minutes for cutting, 24 min. for sewing and 6 min. for packaging. How many of
each shirt style must be produced each week to operate at full speed?
For problems #7 & 8, define the variables and write a system of equations. If there
is one solution, give it. If not, give the parametric formulas for the solutions, state
the domain, and give one specific solution.
7. A person receives $306 per year in simple interest from three investments
totaling $3200. Part of the money is invested at 8%, part at 9%, and part at
10%. There is $1800 more invested at 10% than at 8%. Find the amount
invested at each interest rate.
8. A chemistry laboratory has available three kinds of hydrochloric acid (HCl)
solution containing 10%, 30% and 50% HCl. How many liters of each solution

---------------------------------------------------------------If p and q are integers, we say q is divisible by p if
q  r  p where r is an integer. For example, 6 is
divisible by 3, since 6  2  3 . But 7 is not divisible
7
7
by 3 since 7  3  , and
