Math Problem Statement

Given matrices A, X, and B, discuss the rank of matrix A in terms of the parameter α. For α = 0, determine if A⁻¹ is possible. Solve the system AX = B for α = 1.

Solution

It seems you've uploaded a mathematical problem involving matrices. Let's break down the problem into its components:

Matrix Information:

  • Matrix A=(14010075345α)A = \begin{pmatrix} 14 & 0 & 10 \\ 0 & 7 & 5 \\ 3 & 4 & 5\alpha \end{pmatrix}
  • Matrix X=(xyz)X = \begin{pmatrix} x \\ y \\ z \end{pmatrix}
  • Matrix B=(37211)B = \begin{pmatrix} \frac{37}{2} \\ 11 \end{pmatrix}

Questions:

  • a) Discuss the rank of matrix AA based on the parameter α\alpha.
  • b) For α=0\alpha = 0, calculate if A1A^{-1} is possible.
  • c) Solve the system AX=BAX = B when α=1\alpha = 1.

The provided solution details:

  • For part a), the rank of AA is 2 when α=1\alpha = 1, and when α1\alpha \neq 1, the rank is 3.
  • For part b), the inverse of AA is possible when α=0\alpha = 0.
  • For part c), the system AX=BAX = B is solvable, and the solution is given with specific values for xx, yy, and zz.
