Application of Matrix

The document discusses a transportation company's use of three types of trucks and their capacities, represented in matrix form. It outlines a method to calculate the number of vehicles that can be transported using these trucks based on their availability. Additionally, it presents an example of investment distribution using matrix algebra to solve a system of linear equations related to interest income.

Salution. Let x, v and z represent the investments at the rates of interest of 6%. 7% and
8%
per respectively. Then, according to the given information, we have
x+y +z= 5000 xty+z= 5000
ed if 0.06x + 0.07y + 0.08z = 358 6x +7y+8z =35800
0.06x + 0.07v = 0.082 + 70 6x+ 7v- 8z =7000
