Question

question 27 points 3

solve the system of equations using the matrix inverse method.
\\(x - y = 5\\)
\\(3x - 2y = 8\\)

\\(x = -2, y = -7\\)
\\(x = -7, y = -2\\)

Explanation:

Set up the matrix equation

Using the Coefficient Matrix knowledge point

$$ A = LATEXBLOCK0 , \quad X = LATEXBLOCK1 , \quad B = LATEXBLOCK2 $$
$$ AX = B $$

Find the inverse matrix

Using the Matrix Inverse Formula knowledge point

$$ \det(A) = (1)(-2) - (-1)(3) = -2 + 3 = 1 $$
$$ A^{-1} = \frac{1}{1} LATEXBLOCK3 = LATEXBLOCK4 $$

Solve for the variables

Using the Solving Matrix Equations knowledge point

$$ X = A^{-1}B = LATEXBLOCK5 LATEXBLOCK6 $$
$$ X = LATEXBLOCK7 = LATEXBLOCK8 = LATEXBLOCK9 $$
$$ x = -2, \quad y = -7 $$

Answer:

  • \(x = -2, y = -7\) (Correct answer)
  • \(x = -7, y = -2\)
