Math Problem Statement

Determine determinant, inverse, and find matrices based on provided equations involving matrix multiplication and inverse.

Solution

The image contains four matrix problems. Here's a breakdown of each problem:

  1. Determine the determinant of A×BA \times B, where: A=(2541),B=(3112)A = \begin{pmatrix} 2 & 5 \\ 4 & 1 \end{pmatrix}, \quad B = \begin{pmatrix} 3 & 1 \\ -1 & 2 \end{pmatrix}

  2. Find the inverse of A+BA + B, where: A=(7542),B=(3212)A = \begin{pmatrix} 7 & 5 \\ 4 & 2 \end{pmatrix}, \quad B = \begin{pmatrix} -3 & 2 \\ 1 & 2 \end{pmatrix}

  3. Given that X×A=BX \times A = B, find matrix XX, where: A=(4522),B=(1613)A = \begin{pmatrix} 4 & -5 \\ -2 & 2 \end{pmatrix}, \quad B = \begin{pmatrix} -1 & 6 \\ 1 & -3 \end{pmatrix}

  4. If X×A=BX \times A = B, find matrix XX, where: A=(4624),B=(3211)A = \begin{pmatrix} -4 & -6 \\ 2 & 4 \end{pmatrix}, \quad B = \begin{pmatrix} 3 & 2 \\ 1 & 1 \end{pmatrix}

Would you like a detailed solution for each question or a specific one? Let me know!

Here are five related questions:

  1. What is the determinant of matrix BB individually in problem 1?
  2. How do you compute the inverse of a matrix in general?
  3. What methods can be used to solve X×A=BX \times A = B?
  4. What is the sum of matrices AA and BB in problem 2?
  5. Can you describe a case where matrix multiplication is not commutative?

Tip: When solving matrix equations like X×A=BX \times A = B, multiplying both sides by the inverse of matrix AA is often useful!
