1. Your school's Key Club decided to sell fruit baskets to raise
money for a local charity. The club sold a total of 80 fruit
baskets. There were three different types of fruit baskets.
Small fruit baskets sold for $15.75 each, medium fruit baskets
sold for $25 each, and large fruit baskets sold for $32.50
each. The Key Club took in a total of 52086.25. and they sold
twice as many large baskets as small baskets.
a. Formulate a system of three linear equations in three
variables to represent this problem situation. Be sure to
define your variables.
b. Solve the system of three linear equations using
technology with matrices. Write your answer in terms of
the problem situation.
c. Describe the solution in terms of the problem situation.
2. Is it always easier to solve a system of linear equations using
matrices? Explain your reasoning.

Let the small , medium and large baskets be denoted by s,m & l

Formulating the equations

s+m+l= 80--------- equation1

$15.75s+ $25 m + $32.5l = $2086.25------equation2

2s=l---------equation 3

Using the technology  s=15, m=35 and l= 30

15+35+30= 80--------- equation1

$15.75(15)+ $25 (35)+ $32.5 (30) = $2086.25------equation2

2(15)=(30)---------equation 3

Yes because multiple variables can be easily calculated through matrices using technology

In Matrix form

[tex]\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&1&1\\15.75&25&32.5\\-2&0&1\end{array}\right][/tex] [tex]\left[\begin{array}{c}s\\m\\l\end{array}\right][/tex]     = [tex]\left[\begin{array}{c} 80\\2086.25\\0\end{array}\right][/tex]

Let A= [tex]\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&1&1\\15.75&25&32.5\\-2&0&1\end{array}\right][/tex]

Z= [tex]\left[\begin{array}{c}s\\m\\l\end{array}\right][/tex]    

B = [tex]\left[\begin{array}{c} 80\\2086.25\\0\end{array}\right][/tex]

Z= A⁻¹ B

A⁻¹= A mod/ det A

det A= -1

Using the technology  s=15, m=35 and l= 30

15 small baskets,

35 medium baskets

30 large baskets were sold.

Part C:

15+35+30= 80--------- equation1

$15.75(15)+ $25 (35)+ $32.5 (30) = $2086.25------equation2

236.25+ 875+ 975=$2086.25

$2086.25=$2086.25

2(15)=(30)---------equation 3

Answer 2:

Yes because multiple variables can be easily calculated using technology.

N.B There is a typing error in question its $2086.25 not 52086.25

The Sierpinski triangle (pictured below) is a fractal image. The original figure is an equilateral triangle. In each step, the computer splits every triangle in the design into 444 congruent equilateral triangles, and removes the center one from the design. The area remaining in a particular design after nnn steps can be shown using the following expression:
\qquad\dfrac{25\sqrt{3}}{2}\cdot\left(\dfrac{3}{4}\right)^n

The image shows 4 triangular figures, which represent the Sierpinski triangle fractal at 0, 1, 2, and 3 iterations.
The original triangular figure is an equilateral triangle which is entirely shaded. The triangular figure labeled n = 1 is formed by subdividing the original triangle into 4 congruent triangles and removing the middle triangle. The triangular figure for n = 2 is formed by subdividing each of the congruent triangles from the figure labeled n = 1 into 4 congruent triangles and removing the middle triangles.
The triangular figure for n = 3 is formed by subdividing each of the congruent triangle from the figure labeled n = 2 into 4 congruent triangles and removing the middle triangles.
