Find the matrix X so that `X[[1, 2, 3],[ 4 ,5, 6]]`= `[[-7,-8,-9],[2,4,6]]` |
Answer» With the given equation, `X` should be a `2xx2` matrix. Let `X = [[a,b],[c,d]]` Then, `[[a,b],[c,d]] [[1,2,3],[4,5,6]] = [[-7,-8,-9],[2,4,6]]` `=>[[a+4b,2a+5b,3a+6b],[c+4d,2c+5d,3c+6d]] = [[-7,-8,-9],[2,4,6]]` `:. a+4b = -7->(1)` `2a+5b = -8->(2)` `3a+6b = -9=> a+2b = -3->(3)` `c+4d = 2->(4)` `2c+5d = 4->(5)` `3c+6d = 6 => c+2d = 2->(6)` Subtracting (3) from (1), `2b = -4=> b = -2` `=>a+4(-2) =-7 => a = 1` Similarly, subtracting (6) from (4), `2d = 0=> d = 0` `c+4(0) = 2 => c = 2` So, `X = [[1,-2],[2,0]]` |
