Question

An electronics company produces​ transistors, resistors, and computer chips. Each transistor requires

33

unitsunits

of​ copper,

22

unitsunits

of​ zinc, and

11

unitunit

of glass. Each resistor requires

33​,

11​,

and

22

units of the three​ materials, and each computer chip requires

22​,

11​,

and

22

units of these​ materials, respectively. How many of each product can be made with

890890

units of​ copper,

480480

units of​ zinc, and

585585

units of​ glass? Solve this exercise by using the inverse of the coefficient matrix to solve a system of equations.

The company can make

nothing

​transistors,

nothing

​resistors, and

nothing

computer chips.
