Problem 3:

You are given three matrices:

  • M=(2153)M = \begin{pmatrix} 2 & 1 \\ 5 & 3 \end{pmatrix}
  • A=(8341)A = \begin{pmatrix} -8 & -3 \\ 4 & 1 \end{pmatrix}
  • N=(4332)N = \begin{pmatrix} 4 & -3 \\ -3 & 2 \end{pmatrix}

You are asked to find matrix S=(abcd)S = \begin{pmatrix} a & b \\ c & d \end{pmatrix} such that it satisfies two matrix equations:

  • MAS=NM \cdot A \cdot S = N
  • MSA=NM \cdot S \cdot A = N

Problem 4:

Solve for all values of xx and yy that are solutions to the matrix equation: (x253y+1)(x253y+1)=(1001)\begin{pmatrix} x - 2 & 5 \\ -3 & y + 1 \end{pmatrix} \cdot \begin{pmatrix} x - 2 & 5 \\ -3 & y + 1 \end{pmatrix} = \begin{pmatrix} 1 & 0 \\ 0 & 1 \end{pmatrix} This is a matrix equation, and we are asked to find xx and yy that make the product of the matrices equal to the identity matrix.

Problem 5:

You are asked to compute x15+x25x_1^5 + x_2^5 given the roots x1x_1 and x2x_2 of the determinant equation: x212x41x41122x3=0\begin{vmatrix} x - 2 & 1 & 2x - 4 \\ -1 & x - 4 & -1 \\ -1 & -2 & 2x - 3 \end{vmatrix} = 0 This is a determinant equation where you need to solve for the roots x1x_1 and x2x_2, and then compute the fifth power of each root and sum them.
