Math Problem Statement

Solve the matrix equation AX = B for X where A = [[7, 2, 0], [9, 3, -2], [-3, -1, 1]] and B = [[-57], [-86], [31]].

Solution

The solution to the matrix equation AX=BAX = B is:

X=[937]X = \begin{bmatrix} -9 \\ 3 \\ 7 \end{bmatrix}

Here are 5 related questions to expand on this concept:

  1. What is the determinant of matrix AA, and how does it affect the solution?
  2. How would the solution change if matrix AA were singular (non-invertible)?
  3. Can you find the inverse of matrix AA, and how would it help solve AX=BAX = B?
  4. What are some practical applications of solving matrix equations in real-world problems?
  5. How can this method be extended to larger systems of equations?

Tip: In matrix equations, ensure the matrix AA is non-singular (invertible) to guarantee a unique solution for XX.
