What is matrix?Explain with an example.

a rectangular array of quantities or expressions in rows and columns that is treated as a single entity and manipulated according to particular rules.

Step-by-step explanation:For example, the matrix A above is a 3 × 2 matrix. Matrices with a single row are called row vectors, and those with a single column are called column vectors. A matrix with the same number of rows and columns is called a square matrix.

a.) list the factors of 40.

1/2/4/5/8/10/20/40

b.) list the factors of 40 that represent the number of cans that could be on each shelf.

5

c.) how many different arrangements of cans are possible?

just one because if you put more on one shelf you will go way over 40 and the cabinet will probably break.

d.) what are the possible arrangements of the cans?

put 5 cans on each self to reach 40 cans in total.

e.) which arrangement uses all the shelves?

5 because you can put 5 cans on each shelf, and since there are 8 shelfs you are equally going to get 40 cans.

thus, the first answer choice, y = sec x, is the correct one
