70) In a study of heat transfer in a grid of wires, the temperature at an exterior node is maintained at a constant
value (in °F) as shown in the figure. When the grid is in thermal equilibrium, the temperature at an interior
node is the average of the temperatures at the four adjacent nodes. For instance
0 + 0 + 300 + T2
T1 = , or 4T1 - T2 = 300. Find the temperatures T1, T2 , and T3 when the grid is in thermal

99) A 3-oz serving of roasted, skinless chicken breast contains 140 calories, 27 grams of protein, and 3 grams of fat.
A broccoli spear contains 50 calories, 5 grams of protein, and 1 gram of fat. A cup of whole milk contains 150
calories, 8 grams of protein, and 8 grams of fat. The amount of calories, protein, and fat in one serving of
chicken breast can be represented by the matrix C = 140 27 3 . Find the matrices B and M for the amounts of
calories, protein, and fat in a broccoli spear and a cup of whole milk, respectively, and write the matrix
2C + 3B + 2M, which represents the total calories, protein, and fat in 2 servings of chicken, 3 servings of broccoli,
and 2 cups of whole milk.
