Matrices in Inventory Management

The video tutorial explains the inventory of a pet store chain using matrices. It introduces matrices A and B, representing inventories at two locations, and matrix C, which shows the difference in inventory between the two. The tutorial guides viewers through calculating matrix C by subtracting corresponding entries of matrices A and B. Finally, it discusses matrix D, which represents the combined inventory of both locations by adding matrices A and B.

What does matrix A represent in the context of the pet store chain?

• The prices of dog food

• The customer preferences

• The inventory of store A

• The total sales of dog food

How many types of dog food are available at the pet store chain?

• Four types

• Five types

• Three types

• Two types

What does matrix B represent?

• The sales data of store B

• The inventory of store B

• The inventory of store A

• The total inventory of both stores

What is the purpose of matrix C?

• To show the price differences between stores

• To show the total inventory of both stores

• To show the inventory differences between stores A and B

• To show the sales differences between stores

How is matrix C calculated?

• By multiplying matrices A and B

• By subtracting matrix B from matrix A

• By subtracting matrix A from matrix B

• By adding matrices A and B

What is the result of 5 minus 8 in the context of matrix C?

• -5

• 5

• -3

• 3

What does a negative value in matrix C indicate?

• The inventory is not available

• Store A has more inventory

• Store B has more inventory

• Both stores have equal inventory

What does matrix D represent?

• The inventory of store A

• The inventory of store B

• The combined inventory of stores A and B

• The sales data of both stores

How is matrix D calculated?

• By adding matrices A and B

• By dividing matrix A by matrix B

• By multiplying matrices A and B

• By subtracting matrix B from matrix A

What information does matrix D provide?

• The customer preferences

• The combined inventory of both stores

• The combined sales of both stores

• The price differences between stores
