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.

The enumerated matrix E for the word "bleachers" using the given encoding matrix D is [8, 26, 23, 0, -84, -14, 9, 28, 21].

To obtain the enumerated matrix E for the word "bleachers" using the given 3x3 encoding matrix D, we perform matrix multiplication. The word "bleachers" can be represented as a vector of numerical values, where each letter corresponds to its position in the alphabet (a=1, b=2, ..., z=26). Therefore, "bleachers" translates to the vector [2, 12, 5, 1, 3, 8, 5, 18, 19].

Matrix multiplication is carried out by multiplying each element of the row in D with the corresponding element in the column of the input vector, and summing these products. The resulting enumerated matrix E is [8, 26, 23, 0, -84, -14, 9, 28, 21].

Complete ques:

Find the location of the wooden token. Darnell then found a 3* 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. D=beginbmatrix 1&2&5 0&-4&1 0&3&-1endbmatrix a) What is the enumerated matrix E that corresponds to the text “bleachers”?
