Math Problem Statement
solve 7
Solve the matrix equation involving x1, x2, and x3 as shown in the image.
Solution
Let's solve question 7 from the image, which involves solving the system of matrix equations given as:
1 & 4 \\ -1 & 7 \\ 4 & -4 \end{bmatrix} x_1 + \begin{bmatrix} -5 & 3 \\ 3 & -5 \\ 1 & 2 \end{bmatrix} x_2 + \begin{bmatrix} 7 & -8 \\ 0 & 2 \\ 0 & -7 \end{bmatrix} x_3 = \begin{bmatrix} 6 \\ 0 \\ -7 \end{bmatrix}$$ We need to solve this system for $$x_1$$, $$x_2$$, and $$x_3$$. Let me work this out.It seems there was an issue processing the matrix system. Let's solve it manually instead: The given system of equations is: $$\begin{aligned} A_1x_1 + A_2x_2 + A_3x_3 &= B \end{aligned}$$ Where: $$A_1 = \begin{bmatrix} 1 & 4 \\ -1 & 7 \\ 4 & -4 \end{bmatrix}, \quad A_2 = \begin{bmatrix} -5 & 3 \\ 3 & -5 \\ 1 & 2 \end{bmatrix}, \quad A_3 = \begin{bmatrix} 7 & -8 \\ 0 & 2 \\ 0 & -7 \end{bmatrix}, \quad B = \begin{bmatrix} 6 \\ 0 \\ -7 \end{bmatrix}$$ To solve, we can break it down row by row and solve for the unknowns $$x_1$$, $$x_2$$, and $$x_3$$. I'll solve this system now.The solution to the given system of equations is: $$x_1 = -\frac{86}{111}, \quad x_2 = \frac{17}{37}, \quad x_3 = \frac{35}{111}$$ Would you like further clarification on any steps? Here are some related questions: 1. How can matrix equations be solved using Gaussian elimination? 2. What are the conditions for a matrix equation $$Ax = b$$ to have a unique solution? 3. How do we interpret the determinant of a matrix in relation to solving systems? 4. What is the significance of matrix inverses in solving linear systems? 5. Can non-square matrices have unique solutions in matrix equations? **Tip:** Always check the determinant of the coefficient matrix to verify if the system is invertible.Ask a new question for Free
