MATRIX REVIEW
A MATRIX is a rectangular arrangement of numbers by rows and columns used to display, organize and manipulate information. Brackets [ ] are used to enclose the numbers of the matrix.
Example Matrix: Suppose there are four pizza restaurants in your town. The table below shows the prices each restaurant charges for a large one-topping pizza, a one-liter bottle of soda, and a family-size order of salad. From the table we are able to create the matrix A to describe the pizza restaurant prices.
| |Gina’s |Vinny’s |Tony’s |Sal’s |
|Pizza |$12.16 |$10.10 |$10.86 |$10.65 |
|Drink |$1.15 |$1.09 |$0.89 |$1.05 |
|Salad |$4.05 |$3.69 |$3.89 |$3.85 |
← [pic]
Each number in the matrix is called an ELEMENT (or entry) of the matrix. Individual elements in a matrix are identified by row number and column number location in that order. For example, the value 10.65 is the element in row 1 and column 4 of matrix A and is identified as A14 or A1,4.
1. What is the value of element: A21? __________ A12? __________ A34? ____________
2. Identify the element for the value: 12.16. _______ 1.05 ______ 3.69 ________
The DIMENSION (or order) of a matrix is determined by the number of rows and columns in the matrix listed in that order. In general, a matrix with m rows and n columns is called an [pic] matrix.
3. What is the dimension of this restaurant matrix?
4. How many elements are in the matrix A?
5. How many elements does each of the following matrices have?
[pic]matrix: _____ [pic]matrix : ______ [pic]matrix : ______ [pic]matrix: ______
COLUMN MATRIX is a matrix with only one column. Example: If you create a matrix of only Sal’s menu items, the result is a [pic]column matrix.
Write the column matrix for Vinny’s.
ROW MATRIX is a matrix with only one row. Example: If you create a matrix of only the pizza prices of the four restaurants, the result is a [pic]row matrix. [pic]
Write the row matrix for salad prices.
6. A garment company receives orders from three clothing shops. Shop 1 orders 25 jackets, 75 shirts, and 75 pairs of pants. Shop 2 orders 30 jackets, 55 pairs of pants, and 45 shirts. Shop 3 orders 40 shirts, 20 jackets, and 35 pairs of pants. Display this information in a matrix with columns as jackets, shirts, and pants.
7. For breakfast, Yoko had cereal, a banana, a cup of milk and a slice of toast. She recorded the nutritional information in her food journal: cereal has 165 calories, 33 g of carbohydrate, 3 g of fat, and no cholesterol; a banana has 120 calories, 26 g of carbohydrate, no fat, and no cholesterol; milk has 120 calories, 11 g of carbohydrate, 5 g of fat, and 15 g cholesterol; and toast has 125 calories, 14 g of carbohydrate, 6 g of fat, and 18 g cholesterol. Display this nutritional information in a matrix N whose rows represent the foods and columns represent calories, carbs, fat, and cholesterol in that order.

MATRIX OPERATIONS REVIEW
Additional Key Terms:
Entries in a square matrix located in row i, column j where i = j are said to be located on the MAIN DIAGONAL (top left corner to bottom right corner).
A square matrix S with dimension [pic] is SYMMETRIC if Sij = Sji where i and j = 1, 2, 3,…, n. (Matrix is a reflection across the diagonal)

MATRIX ADDITION AND SUBTRACTION: In general, you can add or subtract matrices only if they have the SAME DIMENSIONS. The resulting matrix will have the same dimensions as the original matrices.
Examples: Identify which operations have a solution or not.
a. [pic] b. [pic] c. [pic] d.[pic]
The operations of addition and subtraction are by corresponding elements of the matrices:
If A and B are matrices of the same dimensions, then the sum A + B is formed by adding the corresponding elements of A and B. The difference A – B is formed by subtracting the corresponding elements of B from the corresponding elements of A.
Addition Example:

Subtraction Example:

MATRIX MULTIPLICATION
Fact 1: Matrix multiplication is a process of pairing elements from the row of the first matrix and the column of the second matrix to multiply all pairs and then add those products.
Fact 2: The number of columns in the first matrix must be equal to the number of rows in the second matrix of the multiplication.
Fact 3: The resulting dimension of the product matrix will have the number of the rows of the first matrix and then number of columns of the second matrix.
CASE #1: Row Matrix x Column Matrix
In general, if A is a [pic]row matrix and B is a [pic]column matrix, then[pic]is a [pic]single value matrix.
Example: Suppose Ruben stops at the convenient store on his way to school to by snacks. He buys four bags of chips at 30 cents each, five candy bars at 35 cents each, a box of cheese crackers for 50 cents, three packs of sour drops at 20 cents each, and two bags of cookies at 75 cents each.
Ruben’s purchases can be displayed in a [pic] row matrix Q (quantity matrix).
The prices of each snack can be displayed in a [pic] column matrix P (price matrix).
[pic]
[pic]
If we want to find the total amount Ruben paid for his snacks, we can multiply the price matrix P by the quantity matrix Q.
[pic]
Practice #1: Suppose Ruben’s friend, Terri, goes along with him to the store. Terri buys a bag of chips for 25 cents, two candy bars at 45 cents each, two packs of gum at 30 cents each, and a medium drink for 75 cents.

Matrix Key Term: An IDENTITY MA
TRIX (I), is any square matrix in which each entry along the main diagonal is 1 and all other entries are 0. If matrix I is an identity matrix, then for any A matrix IA = AI = A.
In order for the product of two matrices to be defined, the number of columns in the first matrix must equal the number of rows in the second matrix. In general, if A is a [pic]row matrix and B is a [pic] multi-dimensional matrix, then[pic]is a [pic] row matrix.

Discrete Math Through Applications (DMTA) Lesson 4
LESLIE MODEL PART 1
Population growth of animal populations is not constant as seen in Logistic Growth of Section 10.4, which modeled growth based on the available space in a habitat. Additionally, for animal populations it is important to understand how different age groups within a population contribute to the growth of the overall population.
If you know the age distribution of a population at a certain date and the birth and survival rates for age-specific groups, you can use this data to create a mathematical model, called the LESLIE MATRIX MODEL.
P. H. Leslie examined a population of an imaginary species of small brown rats. In order to simplify the model, the following assumptions are made.
•
|Age (months) |Birth Rate |Survival Rate |
|0-3 |0 |0.6 |
|3-6 |0.3 |0.9 |
|6-9 |0.8 |0.9 |
|9-12 |0.7 |0.8 |
|12-15 |0.4 |0.6 |
|15-18 |0 |0 |
• Only the female population is considered
• Birth rates and survival rates are held constant over time.
• The survival rate of a rat is the probability that it will survive and move into the next age group.
• The lifespan of these rodents is 15-18 months.
• The rats will have their first litter at approximately 3 months and continue to reproduce every 3 months until they reach the age of 15 months.
Suppose the original female rat population is 42 animals with the age distribution below.
|Age (months) |0-3 |3-6 |6-9 |9-12 |12-15 |15-18 |
|Number |15 |9 |13 |5 |0 |0 |
#1: How do you find a new population distribution after 3 months (1 transition)?
1) How many new rats have been born?
2) How many rats were able to survive from their current age group to the next age group?
|Age (months) |# |Survival Rate |Rats to move up age group |
|0-3 |15 |0.6 | |
|3-6 |9 |0.9 | |
|6-9 |13 |0.9 | |
|9-12 |5 |0.8 | |
|12-15 |0 |0.6 | |
|15-18 |0 |0 | |
3) What is the total number of rats and write a distribution table?
Find the new population distribution after 6 months (2 transition)?
1) How many new rats have been born from the 1st to 2nd transition?
2) How many rats were able to survive from their current age group to the next age group?
|Age (months) |# |Survival Rate |Rats to move up age group |
|0-3 | |0.6 | |
|3-6 | |0.9 | |
|6-9 | |0.9 | |
|9-12 | |0.8 | |
|12-15 | |0.6 | |
|15-18 | |0 | |
3) What is the total number of rats and write a distribution table?

2a. Find the number of newborn female deer after two years.
2b. Calculate the number of deer that survive in each age group after two years.
2c. Find the population distribution after 4 years (2 cycles)
Discrete Math Through Applications (DMTA) Lesson 5
LESLIE MODEL PART 2
The Leslie Model is computationally tedious because you need to find separate values for each age groups survival and the overall number of newborns in any population to complete one cycle or transition of the population distribution. MATRIX MULTIPLICATION will simplify these tedious calculations by appropriately creating a matrix for the population distribution and a LESLIE MATRIX to find future population distributions.
The LESLIE MATRIX, L, is a SQUARE matrix that uses the birth and survival rates of a population such that the rows will always represent the different age groups of population. The first column will represent the birth rates of the age groups, and the following columns will contain the survival rate only for a specific age group and all other elements of that column will be zero to create the “super diagonal” of the matrix. Do not include the survival rate of the last age group because it is always ZERO as the max life span of the population.
[pic]
Example #1: Leslie Model Rat Example from Lesson 4
|Age (months) |Birth Rate |Survival Rate |
|0-3 |0 |0.6 |
|3-6 |0.3 |0.9 |

1b. How might you calculate the next population distribution (2 cycles) using your Leslie Matrix?
In general if you know the initial population distribution, P0, and the Leslie Matrix, L, for a population, then how can you calculate any future population distribution into the future (N transitions or cycles)

Discrete Math Through Applications (DMTA) Lesson 6
LEONTIEF INPUT-OUTPUT MODEL PART 1
The Leontief Input-Output Model was developed by Harvard economist, Wassily Leontief, in the 1960s. He began his study by constructing input-output tables that described the flow of goods and services among various sectors of the economy in the United States.
Example #1: Power Source is a company that manufactures batteries used to power electric motors. However, not all the batteries produced by the company are available for sale outside the company. For every 100 batteries produced, three (3%) are used within the company.
In general, for a TOTAL PRODUCTION of P batteries by this company,[pic] batteries will be used internally and [pic] will be available for external sales to customers. If D represents DEMAND, the number of batteries available for external sales, then the number of batteries available for external sales is [pic]
Suppose the company receives an order for 5,000 batteries. What must the total production be to satisfy this external demand for batteries? To find the total production necessary, substitute 5,000 for D in the previous equation and solve for P.
The company must produce 5,155 batteries to satisfy an external demand for 5,000 batteries.
Example #2: The High-Tech Computer Company produces computer chips. For every dollar’s worth of chips it produces for external sales, it uses 2 cents worth in its manufacturing process.
1a. Write an equation for High-Tech that represents external demand D in terms of total production P.
1b. What must the total production of chips be to meet an external demand of $20,000 worth of chips?
Example #3 - TWO-SECTOR ECONOMY: Suppose Power Source buys an electric motor company and begins producing motors as well as batteries. The company’s primary reason for this merger is that electric motors are needed to produce batteries. The production requirements for each division are described on the following page.
Battery Division
1. For the battery division to produce 100 batteries, it uses 3% of its own batteries.
2. For every 100 batteries produced, 1 motor is required from the motor division. (1% of total produced)
Motor Division
1. For the motor division to produce 100 motors, it must use 4% of its own motors.
2. For every 100 motors produced, 8 batteries are required from the battery division. (8% of total produced)
The production needs within this two-sector economy can be illustrated in the weighted digraph:.
[pic]
The battery division requires 0.03b batteries from its own division and 0.01b motors from the motor division.
The motor division requires 0.04m motors from its own division and 0.08m batteries from the battery division.
Another way to view the company’s production needs is in a consumption matrix for the economy.
[pic]
Battery example: to produce 200 batteries, the battery division will need (0.03)(200) = 6 batteries from the battery division and (0.01)(200) = 2 motors from the motor division.
Motor example: To produce 50 motors, the motor division will need (0.08)(50) = 4 batteries from the battery division and (0.04)(50) = 2 motors from the motor division.
Example #4 - TWO-SECTOR ECONOMY: Suppose the High-Tech Computer Company adds another division that produces computers. Each division within the expanded company uses some of the other division’s products. For every dollar’s worth of chips it produces, the Chip Division requires 2 cents’ worth of computer chips and 1 cents’ worth of computers. For every dollar’s worth of computers it produces, the Computer Division requires 20 cents’ worth of computer chips and 3 cents’ worth of computers.
a. Construct and label a digraph and a consumption matrix for this economy.
b. Suppose the Chip Division produces $1000 worth of chips. How much input does it need from itself and from the Computer Division.
c. Suppose the Computer Division produces $5000 worth of computers. How much input does it need from itself and from the Chip Division.
PRACTICE PROBLEMS: Lesson 6

3. Complete the following.
a. For every dollar’s worth of output, the service department requires __________ cents’ worth of input from its own department and __________cents’ worth of input from the production department.
b. For every dollar’s worth of output, the production department requires _________cents’ worth of input from its own department and ________cents’ worth of input from the service department.
4. Suppose that the total output for the service department is $20 million over a certain period of time and the total output from the production department is $40 million.
a. How much of the total output for the service department is used within the service department? How much input is required from the production department?
b. How much of this total output for the production department is used within the production department? How much input is required from the service department?
c. Combine the information in parts a and b to find how much of the total output from the service and production departments will be available for sales demands outside the company.
For questions 5 and 6, use the digraph below that represents the flow of goods and services in a two sector economy between transportation and agriculture.
5. Construct a consumption matrix for this two-sector economy.
6. If the total output for the agriculture sector is $50 million and the total output for the transportation sector is $100 million over a certain period of time, find the following.
a. The total amount of agricultural goods used internally by this two-sector economy.
b. The total amount of agricultural goods available for external sales.
c. The total amount of transportation services used internally by this two-sector economy.
d. The total amount of transportation services available for external sales.

LEONTIEF INPUT-OUTPUT MODEL PART 2
Recall the consumption matrix of Power Source from lesson 6: [pic]
Suppose we want to write equations that will help us to find the total production of batteries b and motors m necessary to meet internal requirements as well as external sales demands of 400 batteries and 100 motors.
The total batteries b produced, [pic], equals the number of batteries used within the battery division (0.03b) plus the number of batteries sent to the motor division (0.08m) plus the number of batteries required for sales outside the company (400).
The total number of motors m produced, [pic], equals the number of motors sent to the battery division (0.01b) plus the number of motors used within the motor division (0.04m) plus the number of motors required for sales outside the company (100).

1. A group of students is planning a retreat. They have contacted three lodges in the vicinity to inquire about rates. They found that Crystal Lodge charges $13.00 per person per day for lodging, $20.00 per day for food, and $5.00 per person for use of the recreational facilities. Springs Lodge charges $12.50 for lodging, $19.50 for meals, and $7.50 for use of the recreational facilities. Bear Lodge charges $20.00 per night for lodging, $18.00 a day for meals, and there is no extra charge for using the recreational facilities. Beaver Lodge charges a flat rate of $40.00 a day for lodging (meals included) and no additional fee for use of the recreational facilities.
Display this information in a matrix C where the rows are the lodges. Label the rows and columns.
2. Your math club is planning a Saturday practice session for an upcoming math contest. For lunch the students ordered 35 Mexican lunches, 6 bags of corn chips, 6 containers of salsa, and 12 six-packs of cold drinks. Suppose that the club pays $4.50 per lunch, $1.97 per bag of corn chips, $2.10 for each container of salsa, and $2.89 for each six-pack of cold drinks.
2a. Set up a matrix multiplication to find the total cost. Identify the rows and columns of your matrices.
2b. Find the total cost.
3. Mr. Jones has been shopping for a vacuum-powered cleaning system. He found one at Z-Mart and another model at Base Hardware. The Z-Mart system cost $39.50, disposal cartridges were 6 for $24.50, and storage cases were $8.50 each. At Base Hardware the system cost $49.90, cartridges were 6 for $29.95, and cases were $12.50 each.
3a. Write and label a matrix showing the prices for the three items at the two stores.
3b. Mr. Jones decided to wait and see if the prices for the systems would be reduced during the upcoming sales. When he went back during the sales, the Z-Mart prices were reduced by 10% and the Base Hardware prices were reduced by 20%. Construct a matrix showing the sale prices for each of the three items at the two stores.
3c. Use matrix subtraction to compute how much Mr. Jones could save for each item at the two stores.
4. An artist creates plates and bowls from small pieces of colored woods. Each plate requires 100 pieces of ebony, 800 pieces of walnut, 600 pieces of rosewood, and 400 pieces of maple. It takes 200 ebony pieces, 1200 walnut pieces, 1000 rosewood pieces, and 800 pieces of maple to make a large bowl. A small bowl takes 50 pieces of ebony, 500 walnut pieces, 450 rosewood pieces, and 400 pieces of maple.
4a. She currently has orders for five plates, three large bowls, and seven small bowls. Set up and solve a matrix multiplication to compute the number of pieces of each type of wood needed for the order.
4b. Next week she has one order for 6 plates, 2 large bowls, and 4 small bowls to ship out of town, and a second order for 12 plates and 9 small bowls for a local market. Set up and solve a matrix multiplication to compute the number of pieces of each type of wood needed to complete each order separately.

|Restaurant #1 |$2.75 |$7.20 |
|Restaurant #2 |$3.15 |$6.75 |
|Restaurant #3 |$2.90 |$7.00 |
|Restaurant #4 |$2.50 |$7.50 |
5. Four local restaurants offer all soups and sandwiches for a lunch special given in the table. On Monday, you order 5 soups and 4 sandwiches. On Wednesday, you order 2 soups and 7 sandwiches. On Friday, you order 6 soups and 10 sandwiches.
5a. Set up and solve a matrix multiplication to find the cost from each restaurant per day of the week.
5b. Which restaurant has the best deal per day of the week?
5c. If you can only order from one of four restaurants for the entire week, which restaurant should you choose?
6. Three music classes at Central High are selling candy as a fundraiser. The number of each kind of candy sold by each of the three classes is shown in the following table.
| |Jazz Band |Symphonic Band |Orchestra |
|Almond Bars |300 |220 |250 |
|Chocolate Chews |240 |330 |400 |
|Mint Patties |150 |200 |180 |
|Sour balls |175 |150 |160 |
The profit for each type of candy is sour balls, 30 cents; chocolate chews, 50 cents; almond bars, 25 cents; and mint patties, 35 cents. Use matrix multiplication to compute the profit made by each class on its candy sales.
7. The students at Central High are planning to hire a band for the prom. Their choices are bands A, B, and C.
