Question

part 2 of 3
a floral shop has three special flower arrangements. one uses three lilies, the second uses four lilies and three carnations. the third uses five lilies and four carnations. lilies cost $8.5 each,
carnations cost $0.80 each, and daisies cost $1.20 each. complete parts (a) through (c) below.

(b) write a matrix to show the cost of each type of flower.

\

$$\begin{array}{l}\\square \\\\ \\square \\\\ \\square \\end{array}$$

(type integers or decimals.)

Explanation:

Step1: Identify the cost of each flower type

Lilies cost \( \$8.5\) each, carnations cost \( \$0.80\) each, and daisies cost \( \$1.20\) each.

Step2: Write the cost matrix

The cost matrix has one row (since we are just listing the costs of each type) and three columns (for lilies, carnations, daisies). So the matrix is \(

$$\begin{bmatrix}8.5\\0.8\\1.2\end{bmatrix}$$

\)

Answer:

\(

$$\begin{bmatrix}8.5\\0.8\\1.2\end{bmatrix}$$
