Math Problem Statement

Solve for A given the matrix equation: [1 -3 1; 0 -1 0; 0 -1 1] * A^(-1) = [4 0 0; 1 -1 0; 2 -2 1].

Solution

To solve for AA, given the equation:

[131010011]A1=[400110221],\begin{bmatrix} 1 & -3 & 1 \\ 0 & -1 & 0 \\ 0 & -1 & 1 \end{bmatrix} A^{-1} = \begin{bmatrix} 4 & 0 & 0 \\ 1 & -1 & 0 \\ 2 & -2 & 1 \end{bmatrix},

we can rearrange this to isolate AA by taking the inverse on both sides. This approach leads us to the following steps:

  1. Rewrite the Equation: A1=[131010011]1[400110221].A^{-1} = \begin{bmatrix} 1 & -3 & 1 \\ 0 & -1 & 0 \\ 0 & -1 & 1 \end{bmatrix}^{-1} \begin{bmatrix} 4 & 0 & 0 \\ 1 & -1 & 0 \\ 2 & -2 & 1 \end{bmatrix}.

  2. Compute the Inverse of [131010011]\begin{bmatrix} 1 & -3 & 1 \\ 0 & -1 & 0 \\ 0 & -1 & 1 \end{bmatrix}: Let B=[131010011]B = \begin{bmatrix} 1 & -3 & 1 \\ 0 & -1 & 0 \\ 0 & -1 & 1 \end{bmatrix}.

    Calculating B1B^{-1} involves finding the determinant and the adjugate of BB.

  3. Multiply B1B^{-1} by the right-side matrix to obtain A1A^{-1}.

  4. Invert A1A^{-1} to find AA.
