Question
If $A$ is a square matrix such that $A^2=A$, then $(I-A)^3+A$ is equal to

Answer

We have, $A^2=A$
$\text { Now, }(I-A)^3+A=(I-A)(I-A)(I-A)+A$
$=(I \cdot I-I \cdot A-A \cdot I+A \cdot A)(I-A)+A$
$=(I-A-A+A)(I-A)+A \quad\left[\because I \cdot A=A \cdot I=A \text { and } A^2=A\right]$
$=(I-A)(I-A)+A=(I \cdot I-I \cdot A-A \cdot I+A \cdot A)+A$
$=(I-A-A+A)+A$
$=(I-A)+A$
$=I$

Apply linear programming to this problem. A firm wants to determine how many units of each of two products (products D and E) they should produce to make the most money. The profit in the manufacture of a unit of product D is 100 and the profit in the manufacture of a unit of product E is100 and the profit in the manufacture of aunit of product E is 87. The firm is limited by its total available labor hours and total available machine hours. The total labor hours per week are 4,000. Product D takes 5 hours per unit of labor and product E takes 7 hours per unit. The total machine hours are 5,000 per week. Product D takes 9 hours per unit of machine time and product E takes 3 hours per unit. Which of the following is one of the constraints for this linear program?
