Consider solving AX = B for X, where A is n-byn, and X and B are n-by-m. There are two obvious algorithms. The first algorithm factorizes A = PLU using Gaussian elimination and then solves for each column of X by forward and back substitution. The second algorithm computes A-' using Gaussian elimination and then multiplies X = A-1B. Count the number of flops required by each algorithm, and show that the first one requires fewer flops.

Read the following scenario, and then answer the question below. you want to send an e-mail to your boss requesting a meeting to discuss a raise. what is the best example of an e-mail to an employer about this meeting? “hey jason. can we chat about getting me more money soon? let me know. peace, meg.” “hello jason. pardon me for sending yet another e-mail today about my need to talk to you about my position and a possible pay increase. i am dying to know when you can talk. sincerely, meg.” “hello jason. i have been with the company for one year and have taken on more responsibilities than outlined in my job description. i would appreciate an opportunity to speak with you about my position. let me know when we can schedule a meeting. you, meg.” “greetings jason! i hope this e-mail finds you well and happy today. i really, really want to talk to you about something important. i am not sure if you have time. i hope you do. get back in touch with me and let me know when we might talk. ever so much for taking the time to read this. sincerely, meg.”
