For what values of x and y are the following matrices equal`A=[(2x+1,3y),(0,y^2-5y)] B= [(x+3,y^2+2),(0,-6)] ` |
|
Answer» With the given matrices we have, `2x+1 = x+3 => x = 2` `3y = y^2+2 =>y^2-3y+2 = 0` `=>y^2-2y-y+2 = 0` `=>y(y-2)-1(y-2) = 0` `=> (y- 2)(y-1) = 0` `=>y = 2 and y = 1` `y^2-5y = -6` `=>y^2-5y+6 = 0` `=>y2-3y-2y+6 = 0` `=>(y-3)(y-2) = 0` `=>y=3 and y = 2` So, `y=2` is the common solution that satisfies both equation. `:. y = 2` So, `x = 2, y =2` |
