Math Problem Statement

Find the unknown matrices X and Y from the system of equations: -5X + 6Y = A and 4X - 5Y = B. Given matrices A and B, represent X and Y as linear combinations of matrices A and B, and calculate the product X^T * Y (where X^T is the transpose of matrix X). Finally, find the determinant of X^T * Y.

Solution

The system of matrix equations involves finding the unknown matrices XX and YY using the given equations:

  1. 5X+6Y=A-5X + 6Y = A
  2. 4X5Y=B4X - 5Y = B

Where matrices AA and BB are provided as: A=(12110151232),B=(1090121026)A = \begin{pmatrix} 12 & -11 \\ 0 & -15 \\ 12 & 32 \end{pmatrix}, \quad B = \begin{pmatrix} -10 & 9 \\ 0 & 12 \\ -10 & -26 \end{pmatrix}

Approach:

  1. Solve the system for XX and YY using linear combinations of matrices AA and BB.
  2. The form X=c1A+c2BX = c_1 A + c_2 B and Y=d1A+d2BY = d_1 A + d_2 B will help.
  3. After determining XX and YY, calculate XTYX^T Y (where XTX^T is the transpose of matrix XX).
  4. Finally, find the determinant of XTYX^T Y.

Let me compute the solution step by step.The solution to the system of matrix equations is as follows:

  1. The matrix XX is: 0 & 1 \\ 0 & 3 \\ 0 & -4 \end{pmatrix}$$
  2. The matrix YY is: 2 & -1 \\ 0 & 0 \\ 2 & 2 \end{pmatrix}$$
  3. The product XTYX^T \cdot Y (where XTX^T is the transpose of XX) is: 0 & 0 \\ -6 & -9 \end{pmatrix}$$
  4. The determinant of XTYX^T \cdot Y is: det(XTY)=0\text{det}(X^T \cdot Y) = 0
