14. You have a business that sells tables and chairs. You
have brown tables and white
tables, and corresponding chairs. Your May sales are 4 brown tables, 6 white
tables, 20
brown chairs, and 24 white chairs, which is represented by the matrix
where the first row is tables, the second row is chairs, the first column is
brown items,
and the second column is white items. If your October sales are 50% more than
your
May sales, which of the following would represent your October sales?
15. You have a business that sells tables and chairs. You
have brown tables and white
tables, and corresponding chairs. Your May sales are 4 brown tables, 6 white
tables, 20
brown chairs, and 24 white chairs, which is represented by the matrix
where the first row is tables, the second row is chairs, the first column is
brown items,
and the second column is white items. Your June sales are given by the analogous
matrix J, where 
Which of the following
matrix operations would
make sense in this scenario? Be prepared to explain what the result tells you.
(a) M + J
(b) M - J
(c) 1.2J
(d) MJ
(e) All of the above make sense.
(f) More than one, but not all, of the above make sense.
16. You have a business that sells tables and chairs. You
have brown tables and white
tables, and corresponding chairs. Your May sales are 4 brown tables, 6 white
tables, 20
brown chairs, and 24 white chairs, which is represented by the matrix
where the first row is tables, the second row is chairs, the first column is
brown items,
and the second column is white items. All tables cost $350 and all chairs cost
$125,
which we represent with the cost vector 
Which of the following matrix
operations could be useful in this scenario? Be prepared to explain what the
result
tells you.
(a) MC
(b) CM
(c) CTM
(d) MCT
17. True or False Given the vectors x and y plotted
below and some matrix A, if we
know that Ax = 0, this means that Ay = 0 as well.
18. Given the vectors x, y, u, v, and w plotted below and
some matrix A, if we know that
Ax = u, what does this tell us about the product Ay ?
(a) Ay = u
(b) Ay = v
(c) Ay = w
(d) We cannot say anything about Ay without knowing more about A.
