Question 185849: A total of twelve thousand passengers normally ride the green line of the MBTA during te morning rush hour. The token prices for a ride are .25 for childern under 12, $1 for adults and .50 for senior citizens. The revenue from these riders is $10,700. If he token prices were raised to .35 for childern under 12 and $1.50 for adults, and the senior ctizens price was unchanged, the expected revenue from these riders would be $15,820. How many riders in each category normally ride the green line during the morning rush hour?

Question 186735: Working with matrices and thought I had a handle on them. But this one's got me puzzled. The last row does not appear to be valid...how can zeroes = 1? Here's the problem

[0 0 0 1 0 | 0]
[0 0 0 0 1 | 0]
[0 0 0 0 0 | 1]

2. If it is in rref, what is the solution set?
3. If it is not in rref, why?

Question 186733: Ok, so I am given 4 matrices and 2 operations to perform (if possible). I don't think the operations can be performed, but would like to verify that that's true.
Here are the 4 matrices:
A =
[2 -1 3]
[0 4 -2]
B =
[-3 1]
[ 2 5]

C =
[-1 0 2]
[ 4 -3 1]
[-2 3 5]
D =
[3 -2]
[0 -1]
[1 2]
Here are the 2 operations:
1. (B^5)A + D (I think the addition of matrices requires identical
dimensions & here we have a 2x2 added to a 3x2)
2. (3)BA + (4)AC (I think the multiplication of matrices requires the
number of rows in the first matrix to match the number
of columns in the second. Here we have B as a 2x2 and
A as a 2x3; then, A as a 2x3 and C as a 3x3)
Thanks for taking a look, I appreciate your assistance.

Question 187223: Que:If A is an invertible matrix of order 2,then det(A^(-1)) is equal to ?
My solution:
A%5E%28-1%29=%281%2F%7CA%7C%29%2A%28adj%28A%29%29
So, |A^(-1)|=%7C%281%2F%7CA%7C%29%2A%28adj%28A%29%7C
=%7C%281%2F%7CA%7C%29%7C%2A%7C%28adj%28A%29%29%7C
=%281%2F%7C%7CA%7C%7C%29%2A%7CA%7C%5E%28n-1%29
=%7CA%7C%5E%28n-1%29%2F%28%7CA%7C%29
Given order =2
=>|A^(-1)|=%7CA%7C%2F%7CA%7C=1
Answer given at the back of the textbook is 1/|A|
