Reflection on Linear Systems Concepts 1. Describe how to use row operations and elementary matrices to determine how many solutions exist for a linear system. 2. Describe the relationship between the determinant of a matrix A, invertibility of the matrix A, and the number of solutions to systems of the type Ax = b.

Referring to Exercise 19, suppose that the unit cost of distributing the products to stores is the same for each product but varies by warehouse because of the distances involved. It costs $0.75 to distribute one unit from warehouse 1 and $1.00 to distribute one unit from warehouse 2. Organize these costs into a matrix C and then use matrix multiplication to compute the total cost of distributing each product.
