Answer
}[r] -3 & 6 \ 0 & -9 \end{bmatrix} \text{ and } A^t = \begin{bmatrix}[r] -3 & 0 \ 6 & -9 \end{bmatrix}.
(i) Substituting value of A and At in 2A + 3At we get,
}[r] -3 & 6 \ 0 & -9 \end{bmatrix} + 3\begin{bmatrix}[r] -3 & 0 \ 6 & -9 \end{bmatrix} \\[1em] = \begin{bmatrix}[r] -6 & 12 \ 0 & -18 \end{bmatrix} + \begin{bmatrix}[r] -9 & 0 \ 18 & -27 \end{bmatrix} \\[1em] = \begin{bmatrix}[r] -6 + (-9) & 12 + 0 \ 0 + 18 & -18 + (-27) \end{bmatrix} \\[1em] = \begin{bmatrix}[r] -15 & 12 \ 18 & -45 \end{bmatrix}.
Hence, 2A + 3At = }[r] -15 & 12 \ 18 & -45 \end{bmatrix}.
(ii) Substituting value of A and At in 2At - 3A we get,
}[r] -3 & 0 \ 6 & -9 \end{bmatrix} - 3\begin{bmatrix}[r] -3 & 6 \ 0 & -9 \end{bmatrix} \\[1em] = \begin{bmatrix}[r] -6 & 0 \ 12 & -18 \end{bmatrix} - \begin{bmatrix}[r] -9 & 18 \ 0 & -27 \end{bmatrix} \\[1em] = \begin{bmatrix}[r] -6 - (-9) & 0 - 18 \ 12 - 0 & -18 - (-27) \end{bmatrix} \\[1em] = \begin{bmatrix}[r] 3 & -18 \ 12 & 9 \end{bmatrix}.
Hence, }[r] 3 & -18 \ 12 & 9 \end{bmatrix}.
(iii) Substituting value of A and At in we get,
}[r] -3 & 6 \ 0 & -9 \end{bmatrix} - \dfrac{1}{3}\begin{bmatrix}[r] -3 & 0 \ 6 & -9 \end{bmatrix} \\[1em] = \begin{bmatrix}[r] -\dfrac{3}{2} & 3 \ 0 & -\dfrac{9}{2} \end{bmatrix} - \begin{bmatrix}[r] -1 & 0 \ 2 & -3 \end{bmatrix} \\[1em] = \begin{bmatrix}[r] -\dfrac{3}{2} - (-1) & 3 - 0 \ 0 - 2 & -\dfrac{9}{2} - (-3) \end{bmatrix} \\[1em] = \begin{bmatrix}[r] -\dfrac{3}{2} + 1 & 3 \ -2 & -\dfrac{9}{2} + 3 \end{bmatrix} \\[1em] = \begin{bmatrix}[r] -\dfrac{1}{2} & 3 \ -2 & -\dfrac{3}{2} \end{bmatrix}
Hence, }[r] -\dfrac{1}{2} & 3 \ -2 & -\dfrac{3}{2} \end{bmatrix}.
(iv) Substituting value of A and At in we get,
}[r] -3 & 0 \ 6 & -9 \end{bmatrix} - \dfrac{1}{3}\begin{bmatrix}[r] -3 & 6 \ 0 & -9 \end{bmatrix} \\[1em] = \begin{bmatrix}[r] -3 & 0 \ 6 & -9 \end{bmatrix} - \begin{bmatrix}[r] -1 & 2 \ 0 & -3 \end{bmatrix} \\[1em] = \begin{bmatrix}[r] -3 - (-1) & 0 - 2 \ 6 - 0 & -9 - (-3) \end{bmatrix} \\[1em] = \begin{bmatrix}[r] -2 & -2 \ 6 & -6 \end{bmatrix}.
Hence, }[r] -2 & -2 \ 6 & -6 \end{bmatrix}.
