Math Problem Statement
Given matrices A and B:
A = [[-1, 1, 2], [0, 4, 5], [-3, 2, 9]],
B = [[1, 2, 7], [-4, 3, 5], [0, 1, 6]].
Find: a) A · B; b) B · A; c) A^(-1); d) A · A^(-1).
Solution
The given problem asks to work with the matrices and , where:
-1 & 1 & 2 \\ 0 & 4 & 5 \\ -3 & 2 & 9 \end{pmatrix}, \quad B = \begin{pmatrix} 1 & 2 & 7 \\ -4 & 3 & 5 \\ 0 & 1 & 6 \end{pmatrix}$$ The tasks to be solved are: a) $$A \cdot B$$ (Matrix multiplication) b) $$B \cdot A$$ (Matrix multiplication) c) $$A^{-1}$$ (Inverse of matrix $$A$$) d) $$A \cdot A^{-1}$$ (Product of matrix $$A$$ and its inverse, which should result in the identity matrix) I will now solve each part step by step. ### a) $$A \cdot B$$ Multiplying the matrices $$A$$ and $$B$$: $$A \cdot B = \begin{pmatrix} -1 & 1 & 2 \\ 0 & 4 & 5 \\ -3 & 2 & 9 \end{pmatrix} \cdot \begin{pmatrix} 1 & 2 & 7 \\ -4 & 3 & 5 \\ 0 & 1 & 6 \end{pmatrix}$$ I will perform the multiplication to get the resulting matrix. ### b) $$B \cdot A$$ Multiplying the matrices $$B$$ and $$A$$: $$B \cdot A = \begin{pmatrix} 1 & 2 & 7 \\ -4 & 3 & 5 \\ 0 & 1 & 6 \end{pmatrix} \cdot \begin{pmatrix} -1 & 1 & 2 \\ 0 & 4 & 5 \\ -3 & 2 & 9 \end{pmatrix}$$ ### c) $$A^{-1}$$ To find the inverse of matrix $$A$$, I will calculate $$A^{-1}$$ using standard matrix inverse techniques (such as Gaussian elimination or adjugate method). ### d) $$A \cdot A^{-1}$$ Finally, the product of $$A$$ and its inverse should yield the identity matrix $$I$$, where: $$A \cdot A^{-1} = I = \begin{pmatrix} 1 & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & 1 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & 1 \end{pmatrix}$$ I will start by calculating part a.
