Question
Solve the matrix equations:
$\begin{bmatrix}1&2&1\end{bmatrix}\begin{bmatrix}1&2&0\\2&0&1\\1&0&2\end{bmatrix}\begin{bmatrix}0\\2\\\text{x}\end{bmatrix}=0$

Answer

$\begin{bmatrix}1&2&1\end{bmatrix}\begin{bmatrix}1&2&0\\2&0&1\\1&0&2\end{bmatrix}\begin{bmatrix}0\\2\\\text{x}\end{bmatrix}=0$
$ \Rightarrow\begin{bmatrix}1+4+1&2+0+0&0+2+2\end{bmatrix}\begin{bmatrix}0\\2\\\text{x}\end{bmatrix}=0$
$\Rightarrow\begin{bmatrix}6&2&4\end{bmatrix}\begin{bmatrix}0\\2\\\text{x}\end{bmatrix}=0$
$\Rightarrow\begin{bmatrix}0+4+4\text{x}\end{bmatrix}=0$
$\Rightarrow4+4\text{x}=0$
$\Rightarrow4\text{x}=-4$
$\therefore\ \text{x}=\frac{-4}{4}=-1$

A factory manufactures two types of screws, A and B, each type requiring the use of two machines - an automatic and a hand-operated. It takes 4 minute on the automatic and 6 minutes on the hand-operated machines to manufacture a package of screws 'A', while it takes 6 minutes on the automatic and 3 minutes on the hand-operated machine to manufacture a package of screws 'B'. Each machine is available for at most 4 hours on any day. The manufacturer can sell a package of screws 'A' at a profit of 70 P and screws 'B' at a profit of Rs. 1. Assuming that he can sell all the screws he can manufacture, how many packages of each type should the factory owner produce in a day in order to maximize his profit? Determine the maximum profit.
