Math Problem Statement
solve with help of matrices
Solution
To solve the system of linear equations using matrices, we can rewrite the given equations in matrix form. The provided system is:
First, we rewrite the first equation to eliminate the fraction:
Now, we have the system:
x - 3y = 0 \\ 2x + y = 7 \end{cases}$$ Next, we express this system in matrix form $$AX = B$$: $$\begin{pmatrix} 1 & -3 \\ 2 & 1 \end{pmatrix} \begin{pmatrix} x \\ y \end{pmatrix} = \begin{pmatrix} 0 \\ 7 \end{pmatrix}$$ Here, the matrix $$A$$ is the coefficients matrix, $$X$$ is the variables matrix, and $$B$$ is the constants matrix. We need to solve for $$X$$ using the equation $$X = A^{-1}B$$. 1. Calculate the determinant of $$A$$: $$\text{det}(A) = (1)(1) - (-3)(2) = 1 + 6 = 7$$ Since the determinant is non-zero, $$A$$ is invertible. 2. Find the inverse of $$A$$: \[ A^{-1} = \frac{1}{\text{det}(A)} \begin{pmatrix} 1 & 3 \\Ask a new question for Free
