Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

You're given five matrices of dimensions (10x20), (20x30), (30x10), (10x40), (40x30). Calculate the minimum order needed for multiplication and the corresponding total cost.

💡 Hint: Consider constructing a cost table for comparing all multiplication paths.

Question 2

How would you modify your strategy if one matrix's size dramatically increases, affecting the computational cost? Evaluate the new strategy.

💡 Hint: Look at how early multiplications affect downstream costs.
