Math Problem Statement

Solve the matrix equation A * X = B, where A and B are given matrices. Find the determinant of A, the inverse matrix A^(-1) using the Gaussian method, and calculate the solution X.

Solution

The uploaded image contains a matrix equation problem in Russian. The main goal is to solve the matrix equation AX=BA \cdot X = B, where:

  • Matrix AA and BB are given.
  • The determinant of matrix AA needs to be computed (detA\det A).
  • The inverse matrix A1A^{-1} must be calculated using the determinant and the Gauss method.
  • Finally, the solution to the equation, X=A1BX = A^{-1} \cdot B, must be determined.

Step-by-step outline to solve this:

  1. Calculate the determinant of matrix AA: Use the determinant formula for a 4x4 matrix.

  2. Find the inverse of AA:

    • Use the formula A1=1detAAdj(A)A^{-1} = \frac{1}{\det A} \text{Adj}(A), where Adj(A)\text{Adj}(A) is the adjugate of AA.
    • Alternatively, use Gaussian elimination to compute A1A^{-1}.
  3. Multiply A1A^{-1} with BB to find XX: Perform matrix multiplication X=A1BX = A^{-1} \cdot B.

Here are five relevant questions to expand your understanding:

  1. How do you calculate the determinant of a 4x4 matrix step-by-step?
  2. What is the Gaussian elimination method for finding the inverse of a matrix?
  3. Why is detA0\det A \neq 0 a requirement for finding the inverse of AA?
  4. How do you multiply two matrices to solve X=A1BX = A^{-1} \cdot B?
  5. What are the common pitfalls when solving matrix equations manually?

Tip: Always check the determinant value before attempting to calculate the inverse of a matrix. If detA=0\det A = 0, the matrix is singular, and its inverse does not exist.
