B + C = [ 2 1 4 2 ] + [ 5 1 7 4 ] = [ 2 + 5 1 + 1 4 + 7 2 + 4 ] = [ 7 2 11 6 ] ∴ A(B + C) = [ 1 2 3 4 ] [ 7 2 11 6 ] = [ 1 × 7 + 2 × 11 1 × 2 + 2 × 6 3 × 7 + 4 × 11 3 × 2 + 4 × 6 ] = [ 7 + 22 2 + 12 21 + 44 6 + 24 ] = [ 29 14 65 30 ] . \text{B + C } = \begin{bmatrix} 2 & 1 \\ 4 & 2 \end{bmatrix} + \begin{bmatrix} 5 & 1 \\ 7 & 4 \end{bmatrix} \\[1em] = \begin{bmatrix} 2 + 5 & 1 + 1 \\ 4 + 7 & 2 + 4 \end{bmatrix} \\[1em] = \begin{bmatrix} 7 & 2 \\ 11 & 6 \end{bmatrix} \\[1em] \therefore \text{ A(B + C) } = \begin{bmatrix} 1 & 2 \\ 3 & 4 \end{bmatrix} \begin{bmatrix} 7 & 2 \\ 11 & 6 \end{bmatrix} \\[1em] = \begin{bmatrix} 1 \times 7 + 2 \times 11 & 1 \times 2 + 2 \times 6 \\ 3 \times 7 + 4 \times 11 & 3 \times 2 + 4 \times 6 \end{bmatrix} \\[1em] = \begin{bmatrix} 7 + 22 & 2 + 12 \\ 21 + 44 & 6 + 24 \end{bmatrix} \\[1em] = \begin{bmatrix} 29 & 14 \\ 65 & 30 \end{bmatrix}. \\[1em] B + C = [ 2 4 1 2 ] + [ 5 7 1 4 ] = [ 2 + 5 4 + 7 1 + 1 2 + 4 ] = [ 7 11 2 6 ] ∴ A(B + C) = [ 1 3 2 4 ] [ 7 11 2 6 ] = [ 1 × 7 + 2 × 11 3 × 7 + 4 × 11 1 × 2 + 2 × 6 3 × 2 + 4 × 6 ] = [ 7 + 22 21 + 44 2 + 12 6 + 24 ] = [ 29 65 14 30 ] .

B + C = [ 2 1 4 2 ] + [ 5 1 7 4 ] = [ 2 + 5 1 + 1 4 + 7 2 + 4 ] = [ 7 2 11 6 ] ∴ (B + C)A = [ 7 2 11 6 ] [ 1 2 3 4 ] = [ 7 × 1 + 2 × 3 7 × 2 + 2 × 4 11 × 1 + 6 × 3 11 × 2 + 6 × 4 ] = [ 7 + 6 14 + 8 11 + 18 22 + 24 ] = [ 13 22 29 46 ] . \text{B + C } = \begin{bmatrix} 2 & 1 \\ 4 & 2 \end{bmatrix} + \begin{bmatrix} 5 & 1 \\ 7 & 4 \end{bmatrix} \\[1em] = \begin{bmatrix} 2 + 5 & 1 + 1 \\ 4 + 7 & 2 + 4 \end{bmatrix} \\[1em] = \begin{bmatrix} 7 & 2 \\ 11 & 6 \end{bmatrix} \\[1em] \therefore \text{(B + C)A } = \begin{bmatrix} 7 & 2 \\ 11 & 6 \end{bmatrix} \begin{bmatrix} 1 & 2 \\ 3 & 4 \end{bmatrix} \\[1em] = \begin{bmatrix} 7 \times 1 + 2 \times 3 & 7 \times 2 + 2 \times 4 \\ 11 \times 1 + 6 \times 3 & 11 \times 2 + 6 \times 4 \end{bmatrix} \\[1em] = \begin{bmatrix} 7 + 6 & 14 + 8 \\ 11 + 18 & 22 + 24 \end{bmatrix} \\[1em] = \begin{bmatrix} 13 & 22 \\ 29 & 46 \end{bmatrix}. B + C = [ 2 4 1 2 ] + [ 5 7 1 4 ] = [ 2 + 5 4 + 7 1 + 1 2 + 4 ] = [ 7 11 2 6 ] ∴ (B + C)A = [ 7 11 2 6 ] [ 1 3 2 4 ] = [ 7 × 1 + 2 × 3 11 × 1 + 6 × 3 7 × 2 + 2 × 4 11 × 2 + 6 × 4 ] = [ 7 + 6 11 + 18 14 + 8 22 + 24 ] = [ 13 29 22 46 ] .
Hence, the matrix (B + C)A = [ 13 22 29 46 ] . \begin{bmatrix} 13 & 22 \\ 29 & 46 \end{bmatrix}. [ 13 29 22 46 ] .

Answer
B − A = [ 2 1 3 2 ] − [ 1 2 2 3 ] = [ 2 − 1 1 − 2 3 − 2 2 − 3 ] = [ 1 − 1 1 − 1 ] ∴ C ( B − A ) = [ 1 3 3 1 ] [ 1 − 1 1 − 1 ] = [ 1 × 1 + 3 × 1 1 × ( − 1 ) + 3 × ( − 1 ) 3 × 1 + 1 × 1 3 × ( − 1 ) + 1 × ( − 1 ) ] = [ 1 + 3 − 1 − 3 3 + 1 − 3 − 1 ] = [ 4 − 4 4 − 4 ] . B - A = \begin{bmatrix*}[r] 2 & 1 \\ 3 & 2 \end{bmatrix*} - \begin{bmatrix*}[r] 1 & 2 \\ 2 & 3 \end{bmatrix*} \\[1em] = \begin{bmatrix*}[r] 2 - 1 & 1 - 2 \\ 3 - 2 & 2 - 3 \end{bmatrix*} \\[1em] = \begin{bmatrix*}[r] 1 & -1 \\ 1 & -1 \end{bmatrix*} \\[1.5em] \therefore C(B - A) = \begin{bmatrix*}[r] 1 & 3 \\ 3 & 1 \end{bmatrix*} \begin{bmatrix*}[r] 1 & -1 \\ 1 & -1 \end{bmatrix*} \\[1em] = \begin{bmatrix*}[r] 1 \times 1 + 3 \times 1 & 1 \times (-1) + 3 \times (-1) \\ 3 \times 1 + 1 \times 1 & 3 \times (-1) + 1 \times (-1) \end{bmatrix*} \\[1em] = \begin{bmatrix*}[r] 1 + 3 & -1 - 3 \\ 3 + 1 & -3 - 1 \end{bmatrix*} \\[1em] = \begin{bmatrix*}[r] 4 & -4 \\ 4 & -4 \end{bmatrix*}. B − A = [ 2 3 1 2 ] − [ 1 2 2 3 ] = [ 2 − 1 3 − 2 1 − 2 2 − 3 ] = [ 1 1 − 1 − 1 ] ∴ C ( B − A ) = [ 1 3 3 1 ] [ 1 1 − 1 − 1 ] = [ 1 × 1 + 3 × 1 3 × 1 + 1 × 1 1 × ( − 1 ) + 3 × ( − 1 ) 3 × ( − 1 ) + 1 × ( − 1 ) ] = [ 1 + 3 3 + 1 − 1 − 3 − 3 − 1 ] = [ 4 4 − 4 − 4 ] .
Hence, the matrix C(B - A) = [ 4 − 4 4 − 4 ] \begin{bmatrix} 4 & -4 \\ 4 & -4 \end{bmatrix} [ 4 4 − 4 − 4 ] .
Let A = [ 1 0 2 1 ] and B = [ 2 3 − 1 0 ] , \begin{bmatrix} 1 & 0 \\ 2 & 1 \end{bmatrix} \text{ and B } = \begin{bmatrix*}[r] 2 & 3 \\ -1 & 0 \end{bmatrix*}, [ 1 2 0 1 ] and B = [ 2 − 1 3 0 ] , find A2 + AB + B2 .

Hence, the matrix A 2 = [ 1 0 0 1 ] and A 3 = [ 1 0 0 − 1 ] . A^2 = \begin{bmatrix*}[r] 1 & 0 \\ 0 & 1 \end{bmatrix*} \text{ and } A^3 = \begin{bmatrix*}[r] 1 & 0 \\ 0 & -1 \end{bmatrix*}. A 2 = [ 1 0 0 1 ] and A 3 = [ 1 0 0 − 1 ] . Thus, A3 = A.

R.H.S. = 9 I 9 I = 9 [ 1 0 0 1 ] = [ 9 0 0 9 ] . \text{R.H.S. } = 9I \\[1em] 9I = 9\begin{bmatrix*}[r] 1 & 0 \\ 0 & 1 \end{bmatrix*} \\[1em] = \begin{bmatrix*}[r] 9 & 0 \\ 0 & 9 \end{bmatrix*}. R.H.S. = 9 I 9 I = 9 [ 1 0 0 1 ] = [ 9 0 0 9 ] .
Since, L.H.S. = [ 9 0 0 9 ] \begin{bmatrix*}[r] 9 & 0 \\ 0 & 9 \end{bmatrix*} [ 9 0 0 9 ] = R.H.S. Hence, proved that 6X - X2 = 9I.
Show that [ 1 2 2 1 ] \begin{bmatrix*}[r] 1 & 2 \\ 2 & 1 \end{bmatrix*} [ 1 2 2 1 ] is a solution of the matrix equation X2 - 2X - 3I = 0 where I is the unit matrix of order 2.

Since, L.H.S. = [ 0 0 0 0 ] \begin{bmatrix*}[r] 0 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 \end{bmatrix*} [ 0 0 0 0 ] = R.H.S. Hence, proved that X2 - 2X -3I = 0.

[ 3 2 7 4 ] [ 0 5 2 3 ] + 2 X = [ 1 − 4 − 5 6 ] , ⇒ [ 3 × 0 + 7 × 5 2 × 0 + 4 × 5 3 × 2 + 7 × 3 2 × 2 + 4 × 3 ] + 2 X = [ 1 − 4 − 5 6 ] ⇒ [ 0 + 35 0 + 20 6 + 21 4 + 12 ] + 2 X = [ 1 − 4 − 5 6 ] ⇒ [ 35 20 27 16 ] + 2 X = [ 1 − 4 − 5 6 ] ⇒ 2 X = [ 1 − 4 − 5 6 ] − [ 35 20 27 16 ] ⇒ 2 X = [ 1 − 35 − 4 − 20 − 5 − 27 6 − 16 ] ⇒ 2 X = [ − 34 − 24 − 32 − 10 ] ⇒ X = 2 1 [ − 34 − 24 − 32 − 10 ] X = [ − 17 − 12 − 16 − 5 ] .

If A = [ 1 1 x x ] , \begin{bmatrix*}[r] 1 & 1 \\ x & x \end{bmatrix*}, [ 1 x 1 x ] , find the value of x so that A2 = O.
Answer
Given, A2 = O.
or , [ 1 1 x x ] [ 1 1 x x ] = [ 0 0 0 0 ] L.H.S. = [ 1 1 x x ] [ 1 1 x x ] = [ 1 × 1 + 1 × x 1 × 1 + 1 × x x × 1 + x × x x × 1 + x × x ] = [ 1 + x 1 + x x + x 2 x + x 2 ] \text{or}, \begin{bmatrix*}[r] 1 & 1 \\ x & x \end{bmatrix*} \begin{bmatrix*}[r] 1 & 1 \\ x & x \end{bmatrix*} = \begin{bmatrix*}[r] 0 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 \end{bmatrix*} \\[1em] \text{L.H.S.} = \begin{bmatrix*}[r] 1 & 1 \\ x & x \end{bmatrix*} \begin{bmatrix*}[r] 1 & 1 \\ x & x \end{bmatrix*} \\[1em] = \begin{bmatrix*}[r] 1 \times 1 + 1 \times x & 1 \times 1 + 1 \times x \\ x \times 1 + x \times x & x \times 1 + x \times x \end{bmatrix*} \\[1em] = \begin{bmatrix*}[r] 1 + x & 1 + x \\ x + x^2 & x + x^2 \end{bmatrix*} or , [ 1 x 1 x ] [ 1 x 1 x ] = [ 0 0 0 0 ] L.H.S. = [ 1 x 1 x ] [ 1 x 1 x ] = [ 1 × 1 + 1 × x x × 1 + x × x 1 × 1 + 1 × x x × 1 + x × x ] = [ 1 + x x + x 2 1 + x x + x 2 ]
Comparing with R.H.S. we get,
⇒ 1 + x = 0 or x = -1 (...Eq 1)
⇒ x + x2 = 0 (...Eq 2)
Putting the value x = -1 in equation 2,
⇒ -1 + (-1)2 = -1 + 1 = 0.
Since, x = -1 satisfies the equation,
Hence, the required value of x = -1.
Find x and y, if [ 2 x x y 3 y ] [ 3 2 ] = [ 16 9 ] . \begin{bmatrix*}[r] 2x & x \\ y & 3y \end{bmatrix*} \begin{bmatrix*}[r] 3 \\ 2 \end{bmatrix*} = \begin{bmatrix*}[r] 16 \\ 9 \end{bmatrix*}. [ 2 x y x 3 y ] [ 3 2 ] = [ 16 9 ] .
Answer
Given,
[ 2 x x y 3 y ] [ 3 2 ] = [ 16 9 ] L.H.S. = [ 2 x x y 3 y ] [ 3 2 ] = [ 2 x × 3 + x × 2 y × 3 + 3 y × 2 ] = [ 6 x + 2 x 3 y + 6 y ] = [ 8 x 9 y ] \begin{bmatrix*}[r] 2x & x \\ y & 3y \end{bmatrix*} \begin{bmatrix*}[r] 3 \\ 2 \end{bmatrix*} = \begin{bmatrix*}[r] 16 \\ 9 \end{bmatrix*} \\[1em] \text{L.H.S.} = \begin{bmatrix*}[r] 2x & x \\ y & 3y \end{bmatrix*} \begin{bmatrix*}[r] 3 \\ 2 \end{bmatrix*} \\[1em] = \begin{bmatrix*}[r] 2x \times 3 + x \times 2 \\ y \times 3 + 3y \times 2 \end{bmatrix*} \\[1em] = \begin{bmatrix*}[r] 6x + 2x \\ 3y + 6y \end{bmatrix*} \\[1em] = \begin{bmatrix*}[r] 8x \\ 9y \end{bmatrix*} [ 2 x y x 3 y ] [ 3 2 ] = [ 16 9 ] L.H.S. = [ 2 x y x 3 y ] [ 3 2 ] = [ 2 x × 3 + x × 2 y × 3 + 3 y × 2 ] = [ 6 x + 2 x 3 y + 6 y ] = [ 8 x 9 y ]
Comparing L.H.S. with R.H.S. we get,
⇒ [ 8 x 9 y ] = [ 16 9 ] ⇒ 8 x = 16 and 9 y = 9 ∴ x = 2 and y = 1. \Rightarrow \begin{bmatrix*}[r] 8x \\ 9y \end{bmatrix*} = \begin{bmatrix*}[r] 16 \\ 9 \end{bmatrix*} \\[1em] \Rightarrow 8x = 16 \text{ and } 9y = 9 \\[1em] \therefore x = 2 \text{ and } y = 1. ⇒ [ 8 x 9 y ] = [ 16 9 ] ⇒ 8 x = 16 and 9 y = 9 ∴ x = 2 and y = 1.
Hence, the value of x = 2 and y = 1.
Find the values of x and y if [ x + y y 2 x x − y ] [ 2 − 1 ] = [ 3 2 ] . \begin{bmatrix*}[r] x + y & y \\ 2x & x - y \end{bmatrix*} \begin{bmatrix*}[r] 2 \\ -1 \end{bmatrix*} = \begin{bmatrix*}[r] 3 \\ 2 \end{bmatrix*}. [ x + y 2 x y x − y ] [ 2 − 1 ] = [ 3 2 ] .
Answer
Given,
[ x + y y 2 x x − y ] [ 2 − 1 ] = [ 3 2 ] ⇒ [ ( x + y ) × 2 + y × ( − 1 ) 2 x × 2 + ( x − y ) × ( − 1 ) ] = [ 3 2 ] ⇒ [ 2 x + 2 y − y 4 x − x + y ] = [ 3 2 ] ⇒ [ 2 x + y 3 x + y ] = [ 3 2 ] \begin{bmatrix*}[r] x + y & y \\ 2x & x - y \end{bmatrix*} \begin{bmatrix*}[r] 2 \\ -1 \end{bmatrix*} = \begin{bmatrix*}[r] 3 \\ 2 \end{bmatrix*} \\[1em] \Rightarrow \begin{bmatrix*}[r] (x + y) \times 2 + y \times (-1) \\ 2x \times 2 + (x - y) \times (-1) \end{bmatrix*} = \begin{bmatrix*}[r] 3 \\ 2 \end{bmatrix*} \\[1em] \Rightarrow \begin{bmatrix*}[r] 2x + 2y - y \\ 4x - x + y \end{bmatrix*} = \begin{bmatrix*}[r] 3 \\ 2 \end{bmatrix*} \\[1em] \Rightarrow \begin{bmatrix*}[r] 2x + y \\ 3x + y \end{bmatrix*} = \begin{bmatrix*}[r] 3 \\ 2 \end{bmatrix*} \\[1em] [ x + y 2 x y x − y ] [ 2 − 1 ] = [ 3 2 ] ⇒ [ ( x + y ) × 2 + y × ( − 1 ) 2 x × 2 + ( x − y ) × ( − 1 ) ] = [ 3 2 ] ⇒ [ 2 x + 2 y − y 4 x − x + y ] = [ 3 2 ] ⇒ [ 2 x + y 3 x + y ] = [ 3 2 ]
By definition of equality of matrices we have,
⇒ 2x + y = 3 or y = 3 - 2x (...Eq 1) ⇒ 3x + y = 2 (...Eq 2)
Putting value of y from equation 1 in equation 2,
⇒ 3x + 3 - 2x = 2 ⇒ x + 3 = 2 ⇒ x = -1.
Now finding value of y,
⇒ y = 3 - 2x ⇒ y = 3 - 2(-1) ⇒ y = 3 + 2 ⇒ y = 5.
Hence, the value of x = -1 and y = 5.

By definition of equality of matrices,
⇒ 2y = 0, 3x = 9 and 3y = 0 ⇒ y = 0, x = 3 and y = 0.
Hence, the values are x = 3 and y = 0.

By definition of equality of matrices,
⇒ a = 3, b = 4, c = 2 and d = 5
Hence, the value of a = 3, b = 4, c = 2 and d = 5.

By definition of equality of matrices we get,
⇒ 4x = 16 and -y = 1 ∴ x = 4 and y = -1.
Hence, the values are x = 4 and y = -1.

Answer
Given,
[ − 2 0 3 1 ] [ − 1 2 x ] + 3 [ − 2 1 ] = 2 [ y 3 ] ⇒ [ ( − 2 ) × ( − 1 ) + 0 × 2 x 3 × ( − 1 ) + 1 × 2 x ] + [ − 6 3 ] = [ 2 y 6 ] ⇒ [ 2 − 3 + 2 x ] + [ − 6 3 ] = [ 2 y 6 ] ⇒ [ 2 + ( − 6 ) − 3 + 2 x + 3 ] = [ 2 y 6 ] ⇒ [ − 4 2 x ] = [ 2 y 6 ] \begin{bmatrix*}[r] -2 & 0 \\ 3 & 1 \end{bmatrix*} \begin{bmatrix*}[r] -1 \\ 2x \end{bmatrix*} + 3\begin{bmatrix*}[r] -2 \\ 1 \end{bmatrix*} = 2\begin{bmatrix*}[r] y \\ 3 \end{bmatrix*} \\[1em] \Rightarrow \begin{bmatrix*}[r] (-2) \times (-1) + 0 \times 2x \\ 3 \times (-1) + 1 \times 2x \end{bmatrix*} + \begin{bmatrix*}[r] -6 \\ 3 \end{bmatrix*} = \begin{bmatrix*}[r] 2y \\ 6 \end{bmatrix*} \\[1em] \Rightarrow \begin{bmatrix*}[r] 2 \\ -3 + 2x \end{bmatrix*} + \begin{bmatrix*}[r] -6 \\ 3 \end{bmatrix*} = \begin{bmatrix*}[r] 2y \\ 6 \end{bmatrix*} \\[1em] \Rightarrow \begin{bmatrix*}[r] 2 + (-6) \\ -3 + 2x + 3 \end{bmatrix*} = \begin{bmatrix*}[r] 2y \\ 6 \end{bmatrix*} \\[1em] \Rightarrow \begin{bmatrix*}[r] -4 \\ 2x \end{bmatrix*} = \begin{bmatrix*}[r] 2y \\ 6 \end{bmatrix*} \\[1em] [ − 2 3 0 1 ] [ − 1 2 x ] + 3 [ − 2 1 ] = 2 [ y 3 ] ⇒ [ ( − 2 ) × ( − 1 ) + 0 × 2 x 3 × ( − 1 ) + 1 × 2 x ] + [ − 6 3 ] = [ 2 y 6 ] ⇒ [ 2 − 3 + 2 x ] + [ − 6 3 ] = [ 2 y 6 ] ⇒ [ 2 + ( − 6 ) − 3 + 2 x + 3 ] = [ 2 y 6 ] ⇒ [ − 4 2 x ] = [ 2 y 6 ]
By definition of equality of matrices we get,
2y = -4 and 2x = 6 ∴ y = -2 and x = 3.
Hence, the values are x = 3 and y = -2.
If [ a 1 1 0 ] [ 4 3 − 3 2 ] = [ b 11 4 c ] , \begin{bmatrix*}[r] a & 1 \\ 1 & 0 \end{bmatrix*} \begin{bmatrix*}[r] 4 & 3 \\ -3 & 2 \end{bmatrix*} = \begin{bmatrix*}[r] b & 11 \\ 4 & c \end{bmatrix*}, [ a 1 1 0 ] [ 4 − 3 3 2 ] = [ b 4 11 c ] , find a, b and c.
Answer
Given,
[ a 1 1 0 ] [ 4 3 − 3 2 ] = [ b 11 4 c ] ⇒ [ a × 4 + 1 × ( − 3 ) a × 3 + 1 × 2 1 × 4 + 0 × ( − 3 ) 1 × 3 + 0 × 2 ] = [ b 11 4 c ] ⇒ [ 4 a − 3 3 a + 2 4 + 0 3 + 0 ] = [ b 11 4 c ] ⇒ [ 4 a − 3 3 a + 2 4 3 ] = [ b 11 4 c ] \begin{bmatrix*}[r] a & 1 \\ 1 & 0 \end{bmatrix*} \begin{bmatrix*}[r] 4 & 3 \\ -3 & 2 \end{bmatrix*} = \begin{bmatrix*}[r] b & 11 \\ 4 & c \end{bmatrix*} \\[1em] \Rightarrow \begin{bmatrix*}[r] a \times 4 + 1 \times (-3) & a \times 3 + 1 \times 2 \\ 1 \times 4 + 0 \times (-3) & 1 \times 3 + 0 \times 2 \end{bmatrix*} = \begin{bmatrix*}[r] b & 11 \\ 4 & c \end{bmatrix*} \\[1em] \Rightarrow \begin{bmatrix*}[r] 4a - 3 & 3a + 2 \\ 4 + 0 & 3 + 0 \end{bmatrix*} = \begin{bmatrix*}[r] b & 11 \\ 4 & c \end{bmatrix*} \\[1em] \Rightarrow \begin{bmatrix*}[r] 4a - 3 & 3a + 2 \\ 4 & 3 \end{bmatrix*} = \begin{bmatrix*}[r] b & 11 \\ 4 & c \end{bmatrix*} \\[1em] [ a 1 1 0 ] [ 4 − 3 3 2 ] = [ b 4 11 c ] ⇒ [ a × 4 + 1 × ( − 3 ) 1 × 4 + 0 × ( − 3 ) a × 3 + 1 × 2 1 × 3 + 0 × 2 ] = [ b 4 11 c ] ⇒ [ 4 a − 3 4 + 0 3 a + 2 3 + 0 ] = [ b 4 11 c ] ⇒ [ 4 a − 3 4 3 a + 2 3 ] = [ b 4 11 c ]
By definition of equality of matrices we get,
4a - 3 = b (...Eq 1) 3a + 2 = 11 (...Eq 2) c = 3.
Solving (Eq 2) first,
⇒ 3a + 2 = 11 ⇒ 3a = 9 ⇒ a = 3.
Putting value of a in Eq 1,
⇒ 4a - 3 = b ⇒ 4(3) - 3 = b ⇒ 12 - 3 = b ⇒ b = 9
∴ a = 3, b = 9 and c = 3.
Hence, the value of a = 3, b = 9 and c = 3.
If A = [ 2 3 1 2 ] , \begin{bmatrix*}[r] 2 & 3 \\ 1 & 2 \end{bmatrix*}, [ 2 1 3 2 ] , find x, y so that A2 = xA + yI.
Answer
Given,
A = [ 2 3 1 2 ] , I = [ 1 0 0 1 ] A 2 = x A + y I ⇒ [ 2 3 1 2 ] [ 2 3 1 2 ] = x [ 2 3 1 2 ] + y [ 1 0 0 1 ] ⇒ [ 2 × 2 + 3 × 1 2 × 3 + 3 × 2 1 × 2 + 2 × 1 1 × 3 + 2 × 2 ] = [ 2 x 3 x x 2 x ] + [ y 0 0 y ] ⇒ [ 4 + 3 6 + 6 2 + 2 3 + 4 ] = [ 2 x + y 3 x + 0 x + 0 2 x + y ] ⇒ [ 7 12 4 7 ] = [ 2 x + y 3 x + 0 x + 0 2 x + y ] ⇒ [ 7 12 4 7 ] = [ 2 x + y 3 x x 2 x + y ] \text{A } = \begin{bmatrix*}[r] 2 & 3 \\ 1 & 2 \end{bmatrix*}, \text{ I } = \begin{bmatrix*}[r] 1 & 0 \\ 0 & 1 \end{bmatrix*} \\[1em] \text{A}^2 = x\text{A} + y\text{I } \\[1em] \Rightarrow \begin{bmatrix*}[r] 2 & 3 \\ 1 & 2 \end{bmatrix*} \begin{bmatrix*}[r] 2 & 3 \\ 1 & 2 \end{bmatrix*} = x \begin{bmatrix*}[r] 2 & 3 \\ 1 & 2 \end{bmatrix*} + y \begin{bmatrix*}[r] 1 & 0 \\ 0 & 1 \end{bmatrix*} \\[1em] \Rightarrow \begin{bmatrix*}[r] 2 \times 2 + 3 \times 1 & 2 \times 3 + 3 \times 2 \\ 1 \times 2 + 2 \times 1 & 1 \times 3 + 2 \times 2 \end{bmatrix*} = \begin{bmatrix*}[r] 2x & 3x \\ x & 2x \end{bmatrix*} + \begin{bmatrix*}[r] y & 0 \\ 0 & y \end{bmatrix*} \\[1em] \Rightarrow \begin{bmatrix*}[r] 4 + 3 & 6 + 6 \\ 2 + 2 & 3 + 4 \end{bmatrix*} = \begin{bmatrix*}[r] 2x + y & 3x + 0 \\ x + 0 & 2x + y \end{bmatrix*} \\[1em] \Rightarrow \begin{bmatrix*}[r] 7 & 12 \\ 4 & 7 \end{bmatrix*} = \begin{bmatrix*}[r] 2x + y & 3x + 0 \\ x + 0 & 2x + y \end{bmatrix*} \\[1em] \Rightarrow \begin{bmatrix*}[r] 7 & 12 \\ 4 & 7 \end{bmatrix*} = \begin{bmatrix*}[r] 2x + y & 3x \\ x & 2x + y \end{bmatrix*} \\[1em] A = [ 2 1 3 2 ] , I = [ 1 0 0 1 ] A 2 = x A + y I ⇒ [ 2 1 3 2 ] [ 2 1 3 2 ] = x [ 2 1 3 2 ] + y [ 1 0 0 1 ] ⇒ [ 2 × 2 + 3 × 1 1 × 2 + 2 × 1 2 × 3 + 3 × 2 1 × 3 + 2 × 2 ] = [ 2 x x 3 x 2 x ] + [ y 0 0 y ] ⇒ [ 4 + 3 2 + 2 6 + 6 3 + 4 ] = [ 2 x + y x + 0 3 x + 0 2 x + y ] ⇒ [ 7 4 12 7 ] = [ 2 x + y x + 0 3 x + 0 2 x + y ] ⇒ [ 7 4 12 7 ] = [ 2 x + y x 3 x 2 x + y ]
By definition of equality of matrices we get,
3x = 12 or x = 4 (...Eq 1)
2x + y = 7 (...Eq 2)
Putting value of x from Eq1 in Eq 2,
⇒ 2(4) + y = 7 ⇒ 8 + y = 7 ⇒ y = 7 - 8 ⇒ y = -1.
Hence, the value of x = 4 and y = -1.
If P = [ 2 6 3 9 ] and Q = [ 3 x y 2 ] , \begin{bmatrix*}[r] 2 & 6 \\ 3 & 9 \end{bmatrix*} \text{ and Q } = \begin{bmatrix*}[r] 3 & x \\ y & 2 \end{bmatrix*}, [ 2 3 6 9 ] and Q = [ 3 y x 2 ] , find x, y such that PQ = O.
Answer
Given,
PQ = 0
⇒ [ 2 6 3 9 ] [ 3 x y 2 ] = [ 0 0 0 0 ] ⇒ [ 2 × 3 + 6 × y 2 × x + 6 × 2 3 × 3 + 9 × y 3 × x + 9 × 2 ] = [ 0 0 0 0 ] ⇒ [ 6 + 6 y 2 x + 12 9 + 9 y 3 x + 18 ] = [ 0 0 0 0 ] \Rightarrow \begin{bmatrix*}[r] 2 & 6 \\ 3 & 9 \end{bmatrix*} \begin{bmatrix*}[r] 3 & x \\ y & 2 \end{bmatrix*} = \begin{bmatrix*}[r] 0 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 \end{bmatrix*} \\[1em] \Rightarrow \begin{bmatrix*}[r] 2 \times 3 + 6 \times y & 2 \times x + 6 \times 2 \\ 3 \times 3 + 9 \times y & 3 \times x + 9 \times 2 \end{bmatrix*} = \begin{bmatrix*}[r] 0 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 \end{bmatrix*} \\[1em] \Rightarrow \begin{bmatrix*}[r] 6 + 6y & 2x + 12 \\ 9 + 9y & 3x + 18 \end{bmatrix*} = \begin{bmatrix*}[r] 0 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 \end{bmatrix*} \\[1em] ⇒ [ 2 3 6 9 ] [ 3 y x 2 ] = [ 0 0 0 0 ] ⇒ [ 2 × 3 + 6 × y 3 × 3 + 9 × y 2 × x + 6 × 2 3 × x + 9 × 2 ] = [ 0 0 0 0 ] ⇒ [ 6 + 6 y 9 + 9 y 2 x + 12 3 x + 18 ] = [ 0 0 0 0 ]
By definition of equality of matrices we get,
⇒ 6 + 6y = 0 and 2x + 12 = 0 ⇒ 6y = -6 and 2x = -12 ⇒ y = -1 and x = -6.
Checking whether x = -6 and y = -1, satisfies other equations 9 + 9y = 0 and 3x + 18 = 0,
⇒ 9 + 9y = 0 ⇒ 9 + 9(-1) = 0 ⇒ 9 - 9 = 0 (L.H.S. = R.H.S.)
⇒ 3x + 18 = 0 ⇒ 3(-6) + 18 = 0 ⇒ -18 + 18 = 0 (L.H.S. = R.H.S.)
∴ x = -6 and y = -1.
Hence, the value of x = -6 and y = -1.
Let M × [ 1 1 0 2 ] = [ 1 2 ] \times \begin{bmatrix*}[r] 1 & 1 \\ 0 & 2 \end{bmatrix*} = \begin{bmatrix*}[r] 1 & 2 \end{bmatrix*} × [ 1 0 1 2 ] = [ 1 2 ] where M is a matrix.
(i) State the order of the matrix M.
(ii) Find the matrix M.
Answer
(i)
Since,
M × [ 1 1 0 2 ] = [ 1 2 ] ⇒ M × [ 1 1 0 2 ] is a 1 × 2 matrix, but [ 1 1 0 2 ] is a 2 × 2 matrix . ⇒ M is a 1 × 2 matrix . \text{M} \times \begin{bmatrix*}[r] 1 & 1 \\ 0 & 2 \end{bmatrix*} = \begin{bmatrix*}[r] 1 & 2 \end{bmatrix*} \\[1em] \Rightarrow \text{M} \times \begin{bmatrix*}[r] 1 & 1 \\ 0 & 2 \end{bmatrix*} \text{is a } 1 \times 2 \text{ matrix, but} \begin{bmatrix*}[r] 1 & 1 \\ 0 & 2 \end{bmatrix*} \text{ is a } 2 \times 2 \text{ matrix}. \\[1em] \Rightarrow \text{M is a } 1 \times 2 \text{ matrix}. M × [ 1 0 1 2 ] = [ 1 2 ] ⇒ M × [ 1 0 1 2 ] is a 1 × 2 matrix, but [ 1 0 1 2 ] is a 2 × 2 matrix . ⇒ M is a 1 × 2 matrix .
The order of matrix M is 1 × 2.
(ii)
Let M = [ x y ] Given, M × [ 1 1 0 2 ] = [ 1 2 ] ⇒ [ x y ] × [ 1 1 0 2 ] = [ 1 2 ] ⇒ [ x × 1 + y × 0 x × 1 + y × 2 ] = [ 1 2 ] ⇒ [ x x + 2 y ] = [ 1 2 ] \text{Let M =} \begin{bmatrix*}[r] x & y \end{bmatrix*} \\[1em] \text{Given, } \text{M} \times \begin{bmatrix*}[r] 1 & 1 \\ 0 & 2 \end{bmatrix*} = \begin{bmatrix*}[r] 1 & 2 \end{bmatrix*} \\[1em] \Rightarrow \begin{bmatrix*}[r] x & y \end{bmatrix*} \times \begin{bmatrix*}[r] 1 & 1 \\ 0 & 2 \end{bmatrix*} = \begin{bmatrix*}[r] 1 & 2 \end{bmatrix*} \\[1em] \Rightarrow \begin{bmatrix*}[r] x \times 1 + y \times 0 & x \times 1 + y \times 2 \\ \end{bmatrix*} = \begin{bmatrix*}[r] 1 & 2 \end{bmatrix*} \\[1em] \Rightarrow \begin{bmatrix*}[r] x & x + 2y \\ \end{bmatrix*} = \begin{bmatrix*}[r] 1 & 2 \end{bmatrix*} \\[1em] Let M = [ x y ] Given, M × [ 1 0 1 2 ] = [ 1 2 ] ⇒ [ x y ] × [ 1 0 1 2 ] = [ 1 2 ] ⇒ [ x × 1 + y × 0 x × 1 + y × 2 ] = [ 1 2 ] ⇒ [ x x + 2 y ] = [ 1 2 ]
By definition of equality of matrices we get,
x = 1 (...Eq 1) x + 2y = 2 (...Eq 2)
Putting value of x from Eq 1 in Eq 2,
⇒ x + 2y = 2 ⇒ 1 + 2y = 2 ⇒ 2y = 2 - 1 ⇒ 2y = 1 ⇒ y = 1 2 \dfrac{1}{2} 2 1
Since, M = [ x y ] ∴ M = [ 1 1 2 ] . \text{Since, M }= \begin{bmatrix*}[r] x & y \\ \end{bmatrix*} \\[1em] \therefore \text{M} = \begin{bmatrix*}[r] 1 & \dfrac{1}{2} \\ \end{bmatrix*}. Since, M = [ x y ] ∴ M = [ 1 2 1 ] .
Hence, the matrix M = [ 1 1 2 ] \begin{bmatrix*}[r] 1 & \dfrac{1}{2} \end{bmatrix*} [ 1 2 1 ] .
Given [ 2 1 − 3 4 ] X = [ 7 6 ] , \begin{bmatrix*}[r] 2 & 1 \\ -3 & 4 \end{bmatrix*}X = \begin{bmatrix*}[r] 7 \\ 6 \end{bmatrix*}, [ 2 − 3 1 4 ] X = [ 7 6 ] , write :
(i) the order of the matrix X
(ii) the matrix X.
Answer
(i) Since,
[ 2 1 − 3 4 ] X = [ 7 6 ] ⇒ [ 2 1 − 3 4 ] X is a 2 × 1 matrix, but [ 2 1 − 3 4 ] is a 2 × 2 matrix . ⇒ X is a 2 × 1 matrix . \begin{bmatrix*}[r] 2 & 1 \\ -3 & 4 \end{bmatrix*}X = \begin{bmatrix*}[r] 7 \\ 6 \end{bmatrix*} \\[1em] \Rightarrow \begin{bmatrix*}[r] 2 & 1 \\ -3 & 4 \end{bmatrix*}X \text{ is a } 2 \times 1 \text{ matrix, but} \begin{bmatrix*}[r] 2 & 1 \\ -3 & 4 \end{bmatrix*} \text{ is a } 2 \times 2 \text{ matrix}. \\[1em] \Rightarrow \text{X is a } 2 \times 1 \text{ matrix}. [ 2 − 3 1 4 ] X = [ 7 6 ] ⇒ [ 2 − 3 1 4 ] X is a 2 × 1 matrix, but [ 2 − 3 1 4 ] is a 2 × 2 matrix . ⇒ X is a 2 × 1 matrix .
The order of the matrix is 2 × 1.
(ii) Let X = [ x y ] \text{X} = \begin{bmatrix*}[r] x \\ y \end{bmatrix*} X = [ x y ]
Given,
[ 2 1 − 3 4 ] X = [ 7 6 ] ⇒ [ 2 1 − 3 4 ] [ x y ] = [ 7 6 ] ⇒ [ 2 × x + 1 × y − 3 × x + 4 × y ] = [ 7 6 ] ⇒ [ 2 x + y − 3 x + 4 y ] = [ 7 6 ] \begin{bmatrix*}[r] 2 & 1 \\ -3 & 4 \end{bmatrix*}X = \begin{bmatrix*}[r] 7 \\ 6 \end{bmatrix*} \\[1em] \Rightarrow \begin{bmatrix*}[r] 2 & 1 \\ -3 & 4 \end{bmatrix*} \begin{bmatrix*}[r] x \\ y \end{bmatrix*} = \begin{bmatrix*}[r] 7 \\ 6 \end{bmatrix*} \\[1em] \Rightarrow \begin{bmatrix*}[r] 2 \times x + 1 \times y \\ -3 \times x + 4 \times y \end{bmatrix*} = \begin{bmatrix*}[r] 7 \\ 6 \end{bmatrix*} \\[1em] \Rightarrow \begin{bmatrix*}[r] 2x + y \\ -3x + 4y \end{bmatrix*} = \begin{bmatrix*}[r] 7 \\ 6 \end{bmatrix*} \\[1em] [ 2 − 3 1 4 ] X = [ 7 6 ] ⇒ [ 2 − 3 1 4 ] [ x y ] = [ 7 6 ] ⇒ [ 2 × x + 1 × y − 3 × x + 4 × y ] = [ 7 6 ] ⇒ [ 2 x + y − 3 x + 4 y ] = [ 7 6 ]
By definition of equality of matrices we get,
2x + y = 7 or y = 7 - 2x (...Eq 1)
-3x + 4y = 6 (...Eq 2)
Putting value of y from Eq 1 in Eq 2
⇒ -3x + 4y = 6 ⇒ -3x + 4(7 - 2x) = 6 ⇒ -3x + 28 - 8x = 6 ⇒ -11x = 6 - 28 ⇒ -11x = -22 ⇒ x = 2.
∴ x = 2 and y = 7 - 2x = 7 - 2(2) = 7 - 4 = 3.
Since, X = [ x y ] ∴ X = [ 2 3 ] \text{X} = \begin{bmatrix*}[r] x \\ y \end{bmatrix*} \\[1em] \therefore \text{X} = \begin{bmatrix*}[r] 2 \\ 3 \end{bmatrix*} X = [ x y ] ∴ X = [ 2 3 ]
Hence, the matrix X = [ 2 3 ] . \text{X} = \begin{bmatrix*}[r] 2 \\ 3 \end{bmatrix*} . X = [ 2 3 ] .
Solve the matrix equation [ 4 1 ] X = [ − 4 8 − 1 2 ] . \begin{bmatrix*}[r] 4 \\ 1 \end{bmatrix*} X = \begin{bmatrix*}[r] -4 & 8 \\ -1 & 2 \end{bmatrix*} . [ 4 1 ] X = [ − 4 − 1 8 2 ] .
Answer
Since,
[ 4 1 ] X = [ − 4 8 − 1 2 ] ⇒ [ 4 1 ] X is a 2 × 2 matrix, but [ 4 1 ] is a 2 × 1 matrix . ⇒ X is a 1 × 2 matrix . \begin{bmatrix*}[r] 4 \\ 1 \end{bmatrix*} X = \begin{bmatrix*}[r] -4 & 8 \\ -1 & 2 \end{bmatrix*} \\[1em] \Rightarrow \begin{bmatrix*}[r] 4 \\ 1 \end{bmatrix*} X \text{ is a } 2 \times 2 \text{ matrix, but} \begin{bmatrix*}[r] 4 \\ 1 \end{bmatrix*} \text{ is a } 2 \times 1 \text{ matrix}. \\[1em] \Rightarrow \text{X is a } 1 \times 2 \text{ matrix}. [ 4 1 ] X = [ − 4 − 1 8 2 ] ⇒ [ 4 1 ] X is a 2 × 2 matrix, but [ 4 1 ] is a 2 × 1 matrix . ⇒ X is a 1 × 2 matrix .
We know that X matrix will be of order 1 × 2. So, let matrix X be [ x y ] . \begin{bmatrix*}[r] x & y \end{bmatrix*}. [ x y ] .
Given,
[ 4 1 ] X = [ − 4 8 − 1 2 ] ⇒ [ 4 1 ] [ x y ] = [ − 4 8 − 1 2 ] ⇒ [ 4 x 4 y x y ] = [ − 4 8 − 1 2 ] \begin{bmatrix*}[r] 4 \\ 1 \end{bmatrix*} X = \begin{bmatrix*}[r] -4 & 8 \\ -1 & 2 \end{bmatrix*} \\[1em] \Rightarrow \begin{bmatrix*}[r] 4 \\ 1 \end{bmatrix*} \begin{bmatrix*}[r] x & y \end{bmatrix*} = \begin{bmatrix*}[r] -4 & 8 \\ -1 & 2 \end{bmatrix*} \\[1em] \Rightarrow \begin{bmatrix*}[r] 4x & 4y \\ x & y \end{bmatrix*} = \begin{bmatrix*}[r] -4 & 8 \\ -1 & 2 \end{bmatrix*} \\[1em] [ 4 1 ] X = [ − 4 − 1 8 2 ] ⇒ [ 4 1 ] [ x y ] = [ − 4 − 1 8 2 ] ⇒ [ 4 x x 4 y y ] = [ − 4 − 1 8 2 ]
From definition of equality of matrices we get,
⇒ x = -1 and y = 2.
Since, X = [ x y ] ∴ X = [ − 1 2 ] \text{Since, X }= \begin{bmatrix*}[r] x & y \\ \end{bmatrix*} \\[1em] \therefore \text{X } = \begin{bmatrix*}[r] -1 & 2 \\ \end{bmatrix*} Since, X = [ x y ] ∴ X = [ − 1 2 ]
Hence, the matrix X = [ − 1 2 ] . \text{X} = \begin{bmatrix*}[r] -1 & 2 \end{bmatrix*}. X = [ − 1 2 ] .
If A = [ 2 − 1 − 4 5 ] and B = [ − 3 2 ] , \begin{bmatrix*}[r] 2 & -1 \\ -4 & 5 \end{bmatrix*} \text{and B } = \begin{bmatrix*}[r] -3 \\ 2 \end{bmatrix*}, [ 2 − 4 − 1 5 ] and B = [ − 3 2 ] , find matrix C such that AC = B.
Answer
Given,

By definition of equality of matrices we get,
⇒ 2x - y = -3 or y = 2x + 3 (...Eq 1)
⇒ -4x + 5y = 2 (...Eq 2)
Putting value of y from Eq 1 in Eq 2,
⇒ -4x + 5y = 2 ⇒ -4x + 5(2x + 3) = 2 ⇒ -4x + 10x + 15 = 2 ⇒ 6x = 2 - 15 ⇒ 6x = -13 ⇒ x = − 13 6 -\dfrac{13}{6} − 6 13
Now finding value of y,
y = 2 x + 3 = 2 ( − 13 6 ) + 3 = − 26 6 + 3 = − 26 + 18 6 = − 8 6 = − 4 3 . y = 2x + 3 \\[1em] = 2\Big(-\dfrac{13}{6}\Big) + 3 \\[1em] = -\dfrac{26}{6} + 3 \\[1em] = \dfrac{-26 + 18}{6} \\[1em] = -\dfrac{8}{6} \\[1em] = -\dfrac{4}{3}. y = 2 x + 3 = 2 ( − 6 13 ) + 3 = − 6 26 + 3 = 6 − 26 + 18 = − 6 8 = − 3 4 .
∴ x = − 13 6 and y = − 4 3 . -\dfrac{13}{6} \text{ and y } = -\dfrac{4}{3}. − 6 13 and y = − 3 4 .
Since,

Answer
Given,
CA = B.
C [ 2 − 1 − 4 5 ] = [ 0 − 3 ] ⇒ C [ 2 − 1 − 4 5 ] is a 1 × 2 matrix, but [ 2 − 1 − 4 5 ] is a 2 × 2 matrix . ∴ C is a 1 × 2 matrix . Let matrix C = [ x y ] ⇒ [ x y ] [ 2 − 1 − 4 5 ] = [ 0 − 3 ] ⇒ [ x × 2 + y × ( − 4 ) x × ( − 1 ) + y × 5 ] = [ 0 − 3 ] ⇒ [ 2 x − 4 y − x + 5 y ] = [ 0 − 3 ] C\begin{bmatrix*}[r] 2 & -1 \\ -4 & 5 \end{bmatrix*} = \begin{bmatrix*}[r] 0 & -3 \\ \end{bmatrix*} \\[1em] \Rightarrow C\begin{bmatrix*}[r] 2 & -1 \\ -4 & 5 \end{bmatrix*} \text{ is a } 1 \times 2 \text{ matrix, but} \begin{bmatrix*}[r] 2 & -1 \\ -4 & 5 \end{bmatrix*} \text{ is a } 2 \times 2 \text{ matrix}. \\[1em] \therefore \text{C is a } 1 \times 2 \text{ matrix}. \\[1em] \text{Let matrix C } = \begin{bmatrix*}[r] x & y \\ \end{bmatrix*} \\[1em] \Rightarrow \begin{bmatrix*}[r] x & y \\ \end{bmatrix*} \begin{bmatrix*}[r] 2 & -1 \\ -4 & 5 \end{bmatrix*} = \begin{bmatrix*}[r] 0 & -3 \\ \end{bmatrix*} \\[1em] \Rightarrow \begin{bmatrix*}[r] x \times 2 + y \times (-4) & x \times (-1) + y \times 5 \end{bmatrix*} = \begin{bmatrix*}[r] 0 & -3 \\ \end{bmatrix*} \\[1em] \Rightarrow \begin{bmatrix*}[r] 2x - 4y & -x + 5y \\ \end{bmatrix*} = \begin{bmatrix*}[r] 0 & -3 \\ \end{bmatrix*} C [ 2 − 4 − 1 5 ] = [ 0 − 3 ] ⇒ C [ 2 − 4 − 1 5 ] is a 1 × 2 matrix, but [ 2 − 4 − 1 5 ] is a 2 × 2 matrix . ∴ C is a 1 × 2 matrix . Let matrix C = [ x y ] ⇒ [ x y ] [ 2 − 4 − 1 5 ] = [ 0 − 3 ] ⇒ [ x × 2 + y × ( − 4 ) x × ( − 1 ) + y × 5 ] = [ 0 − 3 ] ⇒ [ 2 x − 4 y − x + 5 y ] = [ 0 − 3 ]
By definition of equality of matrices we get,
2x - 4y = 0 (...Eq 1)
-x + 5y = -3 or x = 5y + 3 (...Eq 2)
Putting value of x from Eq 2 in Eq 1,
⇒ 2x - 4y = 0 ⇒ 2(5y + 3) - 4y = 0 ⇒ 10y + 6 - 4y = 0 ⇒ 6y + 6 = 0 ⇒ 6y = -6 ⇒ y = -1.
Now finding value of x,
⇒ x = 5y + 3 = 5(-1) + 3 = -5 + 3 = -2.
∴ x = -2, y = -1.
Since, C = [ x y ] ∴ C = [ − 2 − 1 ] \text{Since, C }= \begin{bmatrix*}[r] x & y \\ \end{bmatrix*} \\[0.5em] \therefore C = \begin{bmatrix*}[r] -2 & -1 \\ \end{bmatrix*} Since, C = [ x y ] ∴ C = [ − 2 − 1 ]
Hence, the matrix C = [ − 2 − 1 ] \begin{bmatrix*}[r] -2 & -1 \\ \end{bmatrix*} [ − 2 − 1 ] .
If A = [ 3 − 4 − 1 2 ] \begin{bmatrix*}[r] 3 & -4 \\ -1 & 2 \end{bmatrix*} [ 3 − 1 − 4 2 ] , find the matrix B such that BA = I, where I is the unit matrix of order 2.
Answer
Given,
BA = I
B [ 3 − 4 − 1 2 ] = [ 1 0 0 1 ] ⇒ B [ 3 − 4 − 1 2 ] is a 2 × 2 matrix, and [ 3 − 4 − 1 2 ] is a 2 × 2 matrix . ∴ B is a 2 × 2 matrix . I = [ 1 0 0 1 ] \text{B}\begin{bmatrix*}[r] 3 & -4 \\ -1 & 2 \end{bmatrix*} = \begin{bmatrix*}[r] 1 & 0 \\ 0 & 1 \end{bmatrix*} \\[1em] \Rightarrow \text{B}\begin{bmatrix*}[r] 3 & -4 \\ -1 & 2 \end{bmatrix*} \text{ is a } 2 \times 2 \text{ matrix, and} \begin{bmatrix*}[r] 3 & -4 \\ -1 & 2 \end{bmatrix*} \text{ is a } 2 \times 2 \text{ matrix}. \\[1em] \therefore \text{B is a } 2 \times 2 \text{ matrix}. \\[1em] \text{I } = \begin{bmatrix*}[r] 1 & 0 \\ 0 & 1 \end{bmatrix*} B [ 3 − 1 − 4 2 ] = [ 1 0 0 1 ] ⇒ B [ 3 − 1 − 4 2 ] is a 2 × 2 matrix, and [ 3 − 1 − 4 2 ] is a 2 × 2 matrix . ∴ B is a 2 × 2 matrix . I = [ 1 0 0 1 ]
We know that B will be of order 2 × 2. So, let
B = [ a b c d ] ⇒ [ a b c d ] [ 3 − 4 − 1 2 ] = [ 1 0 0 1 ] ⇒ [ a × 3 + b × ( − 1 ) a × ( − 4 ) + b × 2 c × 3 + d × ( − 1 ) c × ( − 4 ) + d × 2 ] = [ 1 0 0 1 ] ⇒ [ 3 a − b − 4 a + 2 b 3 c − d − 4 c + 2 d ] = [ 1 0 0 1 ] \text{B} = \begin{bmatrix*}[r] a & b \\ c & d \end{bmatrix*} \\[1em] \Rightarrow \begin{bmatrix*}[r] a & b \\ c & d \end{bmatrix*} \begin{bmatrix*}[r] 3 & -4 \\ -1 & 2 \end{bmatrix*} = \begin{bmatrix*}[r] 1 & 0 \\ 0 & 1 \end{bmatrix*} \\[1em] \Rightarrow \begin{bmatrix*}[r] a \times 3 + b \times (-1) & a \times (-4) + b \times 2 \\ c \times 3 + d \times (-1) & c \times (-4) + d \times 2 \end{bmatrix*} = \begin{bmatrix*}[r] 1 & 0 \\ 0 & 1 \end{bmatrix*} \\[1em] \Rightarrow \begin{bmatrix*}[r] 3a - b & -4a + 2b \\ 3c - d & -4c + 2d \end{bmatrix*} = \begin{bmatrix*}[r] 1 & 0 \\ 0 & 1 \end{bmatrix*} \\[1em] B = [ a c b d ] ⇒ [ a c b d ] [ 3 − 1 − 4 2 ] = [ 1 0 0 1 ] ⇒ [ a × 3 + b × ( − 1 ) c × 3 + d × ( − 1 ) a × ( − 4 ) + b × 2 c × ( − 4 ) + d × 2 ] = [ 1 0 0 1 ] ⇒ [ 3 a − b 3 c − d − 4 a + 2 b − 4 c + 2 d ] = [ 1 0 0 1 ]
By definition of equality of matrices we get,
3a - b = 1 (...Eq 1)
-4a + 2b = 0 ⇒ 4a = 2b ⇒ b = 2a (...Eq 2)
3c - d = 0 ⇒ d = 3c (...Eq 3)
-4c + 2d = 1 (...Eq 4)
Putting value of b from Eq 2 in Eq 1
⇒ 3a - b = 1 ⇒ 3a - 2a = 1 ⇒ a = 1
∴ a = 1, b = 2a = 2.
Putting value of d from Eq 3 in Eq 4
⇒ -4c + 2d = 1 ⇒ -4c + 2(3c) = 1 ⇒ -4c + 6c = 1 ⇒ 2c = 1 ⇒ c = 1 2 \dfrac{1}{2} 2 1
∴ c = 1 2 \dfrac{1}{2} 2 1 , d = 3c = 3 2 \dfrac{3}{2} 2 3 .
Since, B = [ a b c d ] ∴ B = [ 1 2 1 2 3 2 ] \text{Since, B }= \begin{bmatrix*}[r] a & b \\ c & d \end{bmatrix*} \\[1em] \therefore \text{B} = \begin{bmatrix*}[r] 1 & 2 \\ \dfrac{1}{2} & \dfrac{3}{2} \end{bmatrix*} Since, B = [ a c b d ] ∴ B = [ 1 2 1 2 2 3 ]
Hence, the matrix B = [ 1 2 1 2 3 2 ] \begin{bmatrix*}[r] 1 & 2 \\ \dfrac{1}{2} & \dfrac{3}{2} \end{bmatrix*} [ 1 2 1 2 2 3 ] .
Given [ 4 2 − 1 1 ] \begin{bmatrix*}[r] 4 & 2 \\ -1 & 1 \end{bmatrix*} [ 4 − 1 2 1 ] M = 6I, where M is a matrix and I is the unit matrix of order 2 × 2.
(i) State the order of matrix M.
(ii) Find the matrix M.
Answer
(i) Given,
[ 4 2 − 1 1 ] M = 6 I ⇒ [ 4 2 − 1 1 ] M is a 2 × 2 matrix, and [ 4 2 − 1 1 ] is a 2 × 2 matrix . ∴ M is a 2 × 2 matrix . \begin{bmatrix*}[r] 4 & 2 \\ -1 & 1 \end{bmatrix*} M = 6I \\[1em] \Rightarrow \begin{bmatrix*}[r] 4 & 2 \\ -1 & 1 \end{bmatrix*} M \text{ is a } 2 \times 2 \text{ matrix, and} \begin{bmatrix*}[r] 4 & 2 \\ -1 & 1 \end{bmatrix*} \text{ is a } 2 \times 2 \text{ matrix}. \\[1em] \therefore \text{M is a } 2 \times 2 \text{ matrix}. \\[1em] [ 4 − 1 2 1 ] M = 6 I ⇒ [ 4 − 1 2 1 ] M is a 2 × 2 matrix, and [ 4 − 1 2 1 ] is a 2 × 2 matrix . ∴ M is a 2 × 2 matrix .
Hence, the matrix M is of order 2 × 2.
(ii) Let matrix M be [ a b c d ] . \begin{bmatrix*}[r] a & b \\ c & d \end{bmatrix*}. [ a c b d ] .
Given,
[ 4 2 − 1 1 ] M = 6 I ⇒ [ 4 2 − 1 1 ] [ a b c d ] = 6 [ 1 0 0 1 ] ⇒ [ 4 × a + 2 × c 4 × b + 2 × d ( − 1 ) × a + 1 × c ( − 1 ) × b + 1 × d ] = [ 6 0 0 6 ] ⇒ [ 4 a + 2 c 4 b + 2 d − a + c − b + d ] = [ 6 0 0 6 ] \begin{bmatrix*}[r] 4 & 2 \\ -1 & 1 \end{bmatrix*} M = 6I \\[1em] \Rightarrow \begin{bmatrix*}[r] 4 & 2 \\ -1 & 1 \end{bmatrix*} \begin{bmatrix*}[r] a & b \\ c & d \end{bmatrix*} = 6\begin{bmatrix*}[r] 1 & 0 \\ 0 & 1 \end{bmatrix*} \\[1em] \Rightarrow \begin{bmatrix*}[r] 4 \times a + 2 \times c & 4 \times b + 2 \times d \\ (-1) \times a + 1 \times c & (-1) \times b + 1 \times d \end{bmatrix*} = \begin{bmatrix*}[r] 6 & 0 \\ 0 & 6 \end{bmatrix*} \\[1em] \Rightarrow \begin{bmatrix*}[r] 4a + 2c & 4b + 2d \\ -a + c & -b + d \end{bmatrix*} = \begin{bmatrix*}[r] 6 & 0 \\ 0 & 6 \end{bmatrix*} \\[1em] [ 4 − 1 2 1 ] M = 6 I ⇒ [ 4 − 1 2 1 ] [ a c b d ] = 6 [ 1 0 0 1 ] ⇒ [ 4 × a + 2 × c ( − 1 ) × a + 1 × c 4 × b + 2 × d ( − 1 ) × b + 1 × d ] = [ 6 0 0 6 ] ⇒ [ 4 a + 2 c − a + c 4 b + 2 d − b + d ] = [ 6 0 0 6 ]
By definition of equality of matrices we get,
4a + 2c = 6 (...Eq 1)
4b + 2d = 0 ⇒ d = -2b (...Eq 2)
-a + c = 0 ⇒ a = c (...Eq 3)
-b + d = 6 (...Eq 4)
Putting value of a from Eq 3 in Eq 1
⇒ 4a + 2c = 6 ⇒ 4c + 2c = 6 ⇒ 6c = 6 ⇒ c = 1.
∴ c = 1 and a = c = 1.
Putting value of d from Eq 2 in Eq 4
⇒ -b + d = 6 ⇒ -b + (-2b) = 6 ⇒ -3b = 6 ⇒ b = -2.
∴ b = -2 and d = -2b = 4.
Since,
M = [ a b c d ] ∴ M = [ 1 − 2 1 4 ] \text{M} = \begin{bmatrix*}[r] a & b \\ c & d \end{bmatrix*} \\[1em] \therefore \text{M} = \begin{bmatrix*}[r] 1 & -2 \\ 1 & 4 \end{bmatrix*} M = [ a c b d ] ∴ M = [ 1 1 − 2 4 ]
Hence, the matrix M = [ 1 − 2 1 4 ] \text{M} = \begin{bmatrix*}[r] 1 & -2 \\ 1 & 4 \end{bmatrix*} M = [ 1 1 − 2 4 ] .
If B = [ − 4 2 5 − 1 ] and C = [ 17 − 1 47 − 13 ] , \begin{bmatrix*}[r] -4 & 2 \\ 5 & -1 \end{bmatrix*} \text{ and C} = \begin{bmatrix*}[r] 17 & -1 \\ 47 & -13 \end{bmatrix*}, [ − 4 5 2 − 1 ] and C = [ 17 47 − 1 − 13 ] , find the matrix A such that AB = C.
Answer
Given,
AB = C
⇒ A [ − 4 2 5 − 1 ] is a 2 × 2 matrix, and [ 4 2 5 − 1 ] is a 2 × 2 matrix . ∴ A is a 2 × 2 matrix . \Rightarrow A\begin{bmatrix*}[r] -4 & 2 \\ 5 & -1 \end{bmatrix*} \text{ is a } 2 \times 2 \text{ matrix, and} \begin{bmatrix*}[r] 4 & 2 \\ 5 & -1 \end{bmatrix*} \text{ is a } 2 \times 2 \text{ matrix}. \\[1em] \therefore \text{A is a } 2 \times 2 \text{ matrix}. ⇒ A [ − 4 5 2 − 1 ] is a 2 × 2 matrix, and [ 4 5 2 − 1 ] is a 2 × 2 matrix . ∴ A is a 2 × 2 matrix .
We know that matrix A will be of order 2 × 2. Let matrix be
A = [ a b c d ] ⇒ [ a b c d ] [ − 4 2 5 − 1 ] = [ 17 − 1 47 − 13 ] ⇒ [ a × ( − 4 ) + b × 5 a × 2 + b × ( − 1 ) c × ( − 4 ) + d × 5 c × 2 + d × ( − 1 ) ] = [ 17 − 1 47 − 13 ] ⇒ [ − 4 a + 5 b 2 a − b − 4 c + 5 d 2 c − d ] = [ 17 − 1 47 − 13 ] \text{A} = \begin{bmatrix*}[r] a & b \\ c & d \end{bmatrix*} \\[1em] \Rightarrow \begin{bmatrix*}[r] a & b \\ c & d \end{bmatrix*} \begin{bmatrix*}[r] -4 & 2 \\ 5 & -1 \end{bmatrix*} = \begin{bmatrix*}[r] 17 & -1 \\ 47 & -13 \end{bmatrix*} \\[1em] \Rightarrow \begin{bmatrix*}[r] a \times (-4) + b \times 5 & a \times 2 + b \times (-1) \\ c \times (-4) + d \times 5 & c \times 2 + d \times (-1) \end{bmatrix*} = \begin{bmatrix*}[r] 17 & -1 \\ 47 & -13 \end{bmatrix*} \\[1em] \Rightarrow \begin{bmatrix*}[r] -4a + 5b & 2a - b \\ -4c + 5d & 2c - d \end{bmatrix*} = \begin{bmatrix*}[r] 17 & -1 \\ 47 & -13 \end{bmatrix*} \\[1em] A = [ a c b d ] ⇒ [ a c b d ] [ − 4 5 2 − 1 ] = [ 17 47 − 1 − 13 ] ⇒ [ a × ( − 4 ) + b × 5 c × ( − 4 ) + d × 5 a × 2 + b × ( − 1 ) c × 2 + d × ( − 1 ) ] = [ 17 47 − 1 − 13 ] ⇒ [ − 4 a + 5 b − 4 c + 5 d 2 a − b 2 c − d ] = [ 17 47 − 1 − 13 ]
By definition of equality of matrices we get,
-4a + 5b = 17 (...Eq 1)
2a - b = -1 ⇒ b = 2a + 1 (...Eq 2)
-4c + 5d = 47 (...Eq 3)
2c - d = -13 ⇒ d = 2c + 13 (...Eq 4)
Putting value of b from Eq 2 in Eq 1
⇒ -4a + 5b = 17 ⇒ -4a + 5(2a + 1) = 17 ⇒ -4a + 10a + 5 = 17 ⇒ 6a + 5 = 17 ⇒ 6a = 12 ⇒ a = 2.
∴ a = 2, b = 2a + 1 = 2(2) + 1 = 5.
Putting value of d from Eq 4 in Eq 3
⇒ -4c + 5d = 47 ⇒ -4c + 5(2c + 13) = 47 ⇒ -4c + 10c + 65 = 47 ⇒ 6c + 65 = 47 ⇒ 6c = -18 ⇒ c = -3.
∴ c = -3, d = 2c + 13 = 2(-3) + 13 = 7.
Since,
A = [ a b c d ] ∴ A = [ 2 5 − 3 7 ] \text{A} = \begin{bmatrix*}[r] a & b \\ c & d \end{bmatrix*} \\[1em] \therefore \text{A} = \begin{bmatrix*}[r] 2 & 5 \\ -3 & 7 \end{bmatrix*} A = [ a c b d ] ∴ A = [ 2 − 3 5 7 ]
Hence, the matrix A = [ 2 5 − 3 7 ] \begin{bmatrix*}[r] 2 & 5 \\ -3 & 7 \end{bmatrix*} [ 2 − 3 5 7 ] .

Hence, p = 8.
