Question

For exercises 8 and 9, use the table that shows a five-day forecast indicating high (H) and low (L) temperatures.

Organize the temperatures in a matrix.

Step-by-Step Solution

Answer

A matrix for high and low temperatures is $\left[\begin{array}{ccccc}88& 88& 90& 86& 85\\ 54& 54& 56& 53& 52\end{array}\right]$.

Step 1 – Description of step.

Matrix is an ordered rectangular arrangement of numbers in horizontal rows and vertical columns enclosed in brackets.

Step 2 – Description of step.

Let five columns stands for Fri, Sat, Sun, Mon and Tue days respectively and two rows stands for high and low temperatures respectively. 

Step 3 – Description of step.

Write a matrix for high and low temperatures.

 $\left[\begin{array}{ccccc}88& 88& 90& 86& 85\\ 54& 54& 56& 53& 52\end{array}\right]$

Therefore, a matrix for high and low temperatures is $\left[\begin{array}{ccccc}88& 88& 90& 86& 85\\ 54& 54& 56& 53& 52\end{array}\right]$.
