Math Problem Statement
Solution
The given matrix is:
We are tasked with finding the inverse of this matrix (if it exists). Let me compute the determinant and check if the matrix is invertible. Then I will calculate its inverse if possible.import numpy as np
Define the matrix
A = np.array([[1, 2, 3], [2, -1, -3], [0, 1, 2]])
Calculate determinant
det = np.linalg.det(A)
Calculate inverse if determinant is non-zero
inverse_A = None if det != 0: inverse_A = np.linalg.inv(A)
det, inverse_A(-1.0, array([[-1., 1., 3.], [ 4., -2., -9.], [-2., 1., 5.]]))(-1.0, array([[-1., 1., 3.], [ 4., -2., -9.], [-2., 1., 5.]]))successThe determinant of the matrix is , which means the matrix is invertible. The inverse of the matrix is:
-1 & 1 & 3 \\ 4 & -2 & -9 \\ -2 & 1 & 5 \end{bmatrix}$$ Would you like a step-by-step explanation of how this inverse is calculated, or do you have any other questions? ### Related Questions: 1.
