Question

Darnell then found a 3 x 3 encoding matrix, D, and must now use it to encrypt the word “bleachers” so that he will receive the matrix containing the location of the wooden token. What is the enumerated matrix E that corresponds to the text “bleachers”? (3 points)

Answer 1

The unnamed math x that corresponds to the text "blackers" is [1, 9, 4].

The unnamed math x that corresponds to the text "blackers" is:

[1, 9, 4]

To find this, we can use the following steps:

1. Break the text "blackers" into its individual characters: `b`, `l`, `a`, `c`, `k`, `e`, `r`, and `s`.

2. Find the corresponding numbers in the encoding matrix, D:

[1, 2, 5]

[0, -4, 1]

[0, 3, -1]

3. Multiply each number in D by its corresponding character in the text, and add the results together. For example, to find the first element of the resulting matrix, we would multiply the first element of D (1) by the first character in the text (`b`):

1 * b = 1

We would then do the same for the second element of D and the second character in the text, and so on.

Therefore, the unnamed math x that corresponds to the text "blackers" is [1, 9, 4].
