This Project examines matrices and three of its applications. Matrix theories
were used to solve economic problems, which involves methods at which
goods can be produced efficiently. To encode and also to decode very
sensitive information. This project work also goes further to apply matrices
to solve a 3 x 3 linear system of equations using matrix multiplication
method.

Introduction
Matrices are incredibly useful things that crop up in many different applied areas. For now,
we'll probably only do some elementary manipulations with matrices, and then we'll move on
to the next topic. But we should not be surprised to encounter matrices again in physics or
engineering. (The plural "matrices" is pronounced as "MAY-truh-seez".)
Matrices were initially based on systems of linear equations.
Given the following system of equations, we can write the associated augmented matrix.
2x + 3y – z = 6
–x – y – z = 9
x + y + 6z = 0
Let us write down the coefficients and the answer values, including all "minus" signs. If there
is "no" coefficient, then the coefficient is "1".
2 3 -1 6
-1 -1 -1 9
1 1 6 0
That is, given a system of (linear) equations, we can relate to it the matrix (the grid of numbers
inside the brackets) which contains only the coefficients of the linear system. This is called "an
augmented matrix": the grid containing the coefficients from the left-hand side of each equation
has been "augmented" with the answers from the right-hand side of each equation.
The entries of (that is, the values in) the matrix correspond to the x-, y- and z-values in the
original system, as long as the original system is arranged properly in the first place.
Sometimes, we'll need to rearrange terms or insert zeroes as place-holders in your matrix.
Definition
A matrix may be defined as an orderly arrangement of some number or symbols in certain rows
and columns enclosed by some brackets, subscribe by the magnitude of its order and
denominated by some capital letter. In other words, a matrix is a rectangular array of numbers
arranged in rows and columns enclosed by a pair of brackets and subject to certain rules of
presentation.
The following are the specimens of a matrix:
1 2 3 15 18 x y z
(1) 4 5 6 (2) B = 20 15 (3) C = p q r
7 8 9 3x3 30 40 3x2 a b c 2x3
Each number in a matrix is an element. One element is distinguished from another by its
position, that is to say, the row and column to which it belongs.
The number of rows and columns of a matrix is called the dimension of a matrix. Thus, a matrix
is of dimension: 2x4, 3x2, 2x5, ... If the matrix has the same number of rows and columns, is
said to be of order: 2, 3, ...
The set of matrices of m rows and n columns is denoted by Amxn or (aij), and any element within
the matrix is in row i in column j, for aij.
Two matrices are equal when they have the same dimension and equal elements which occupy
the same place in both.
Features/Characteristics
The peculiarities or characteristics or features of a matrix organization are: -
Inverse operations are commonly used in algebra to simplify what otherwise might be difficult.
For example, if a problem requires you to divide by a fraction, you can more easily multiply
by its reciprocal. This is an inverse operation. Similarly, since there is no division operator for
matrices, you need to multiply by the inverse matrix. Calculating the inverse of a 3x3 matrix
by hand is a tedious job, but worth reviewing. You can also find the inverse using an advanced
graphing calculator.
The following steps are to be taken up in turn of determining the inverse of a matrix.

Company’s Background.
L.G. Electronics Ltd. Is multinational company producing various products such as washing
machines LED’s and other electronic equipment.
The problem related to the investment needed per month for producing three sizes of LED e.g.
60cms, 80cms, and 100cms.
Statement of Problem
Cost of manufacturing three types of LED’s for next month is given as following.
Company wants to produce 3000 units of 60 cms, 2000 units of 80 cms and 1000 units of 100
cms sizes. Company wants to find investment size.
Steps for Solving the Problems
Let A represent the Labour hours, material used and contract work; Then
A= LED 60 cms 6 10 5
LED 80 cms 8 20 20
Solution:
6 10 5 500
AC = 8 20 20 x 200
10 30 35 400
6x500+10x200+5x400
= 8x500+20x200+20x400
10x500+30x200+35x400
Company wants to produce 3,000, 2,000 and 1,000 units of 60, 80, and 100 cms respectively.
.
. . Total Cost of investment will be.
7,000
25,000
From above it is clear that cost of production of 60 cms size LED is Rs.7,000, 80 cms is
Rs.16,000 and 100 cms is Rs.25,000.
I. Matrix is nothing but the arrangement of the numbers and alphabets in rows and
columns. The number of rows may or may not be equal to number of columns.
II. (a) Two matrices can be added or subtracted provided both are of the same order.
(b) Addition of matrices is both commutative and associative.
(c) two matrices can be multiplied if the number of columns in the first matrix is
equal to the number of rows in the second matrix.
(d) Multiplication of matrices is associative but not always commutative.
