Math Problem Statement

Solve the system of linear equations using the inverse matrix method. Matrix A and vector B are given.

Solution

The image provides a system of equations solved using matrix operations. Here's a breakdown of the solution:

Key elements from the image:

  • Inverse Matrix Calculation: The matrix A1A^{-1} is given as: \begin{pmatrix} -18 & 6 & 4 \\ 13 & -8 & -9 \\ 1 & -4 & 1 \end{pmatrix}$$
  • Vector BB: \begin{pmatrix} 2 \\ -7 \\ 14 \end{pmatrix}$$
  • Solution for XX: Using the inverse matrix formula X=A1BX = A^{-1} \cdot B: \begin{pmatrix} -18 & 6 & 4 \\ 13 & -8 & -9 \\ 1 & -4 & 1 \end{pmatrix} \cdot \begin{pmatrix} 2 \\ -7 \\ 14 \end{pmatrix}$$

Matrix Multiplication Steps:

  1. First row: (182)+(67)+(414)=3642+56=22(-18 \cdot 2) + (6 \cdot -7) + (4 \cdot 14) = -36 - 42 + 56 = -22

  2. Second row: (132)+(87)+(914)=26+56126=44(13 \cdot 2) + (-8 \cdot -7) + (-9 \cdot 14) = 26 + 56 - 126 = -44

  3. Third row: (12)+(47)+(114)=2+28+14=44(1 \cdot 2) + (-4 \cdot -7) + (1 \cdot 14) = 2 + 28 + 14 = 44

Thus, after multiplication:

\begin{pmatrix} -22 \\ -44 \\ 44 \end{pmatrix} = \begin{pmatrix} 1 \\ 2 \\ -2 \end{pmatrix}$$ ### Solution for Variables: $$x_1 = 1, \quad x_2 = 2, \quad x_3 = -2$$ This concludes that the system of equations has the solution $$x_1 = 1$$, $$x_2 = 2$$, and $$x_3 = -2$$.
