Question

Consider the following two systems.
(a)

(b)

(i) Find the inverse of the (common) coefficient matrix of the two systems.

Consider the following two systems. { -5x - 3y = -3 2x - 7y = -3 { -5x - 3y = -1 2x - 7y = 4 Find the inverse of the (common) coefficient matrix of the two systems. A-1 = [ ] Find the solutions to the two systems by using the inverse, i.e. by evaluating A-1B where B represents the right hand side (i.e. B=[-3 -3] for system (a) and B = [-1 4] for system (b)) Solution to system (a): x = y Solution to system (b): x = y

Explanation / Answer

coefiiceinet matrix

A = [ -5, -3 ]

      [ 2 , -7]

|A| = 35 -(-6) = 41

A^-1 = [ -7/41     2/41 ]

             [   -3/41      -5/41]

B =   [ -3   1]

         [ -3 4 ]

A^-1* B =
