MATH 230 TEST III Spring 1999 Bellamy & Sullivan

Problems 1 through 4 are worth 25 points each.

  1. tex2html_wrap103 Let tex2html_wrap_inline63.

    Compute the inverse of tex2html_wrap_inline65 (Note: four points for either product correct; four more for the other, and four more for the difference. Then thirteen for the inverse completely correct.)

  2. tex2html_wrap103 Let tex2html_wrap_inline67 be events in a sample space S; assume that
    tex2html_wrap_inline71 and that tex2html_wrap_inline73 Letting tex2html_wrap_inline75 (and a Venn diagram if you wish), set up a system of three equations in the unknowns tex2html_wrap_inline77 and solve using row operations. Then compute tex2html_wrap_inline79

  3. tex2html_wrap103 Solve the following system of equations completely using matrix row operations. Does it have no solution, one solution, or infinitely many?

  4. tex2html_wrap103 A small toy company is building airplanes and boats. Each airplane is made using four ounces of plastic and one ounce of aluminum. Each boat is made entirely of aluminum and requires two ounces. The profit on each toy, of either type, is three dollars. The resources available before shutting down for the holidays are 120 ounces of plastic and 100 ounces of aluminum. How many of each toy should be manufactured to maximize profits? (Show the profit at every corner!)

  5. tex2html_wrap111 For what values of a does the system

    eqnarray46

    have a solution for x and y?
