Secret messages can be encoded by using a code and an encoding matrix. If we have the
code:
and an encoding matrix
E, we can encode a message by taking every two letters of the message, converting them to
their corresponding numbers, creating a 2 × 1 matrix, and then multiplying each two
numbers by E. The message may be unscrambled with a decoding matrix which is the
inverse of the coding matrix, . Determine if the given pair of encoding matrices are
inverses of each other.

3) A large oil company produces three grades of gasoline: regular, unleaded, and super-unleaded.
To produce these gasolines, equipment is used which requires as input certain amounts of each of
the three grades of gasoline. To produce a dollar's worth of regular requires inputs of worth
of regular, $0.18 worth of unleaded, and $0.17 worth of super-unleaded. To produce a dollar's
worth of unleaded requires inputs of $0.14 worth of regular, worth of unleaded, and
worth of super-unleaded. To produce a dollar's worth of super-unleaded requires inputs of
worth of regular, $0.17 worth of unleaded, and $0.11 worth of super-unleaded. In addition, the
oil company has final demands for each of the different grades of gasoline. Find the coefficient
matrix that would be used in determining the total output of each grade of gasoline.

4) Suppose that a simple economy consists of three sectors: agriculture (A), manufacturing (M),
and transportation (T). Economists have determined that to produce one unit of A requires
units of A, units of B, and units of T, while production of one unit of M requires units of
units of M, and units of T. There is an external demand for 20 units of A, 40 units of M, and
10 units of T. Determine the production levels necessary to meet the external demand.
Answer: The Production Levels are:
64 units of Agriculture,
74 units of Transportation.
