Answer

A=[3609] and At=[3069]A = \begin{bmatrix}[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,

2A+3At=2[3609]+3[3069]=[612018]+[901827]=[6+(9)12+00+1818+(27)]=[15121845].\Rightarrow 2A + 3A^t = 2\begin{bmatrix}[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 = [15121845].\begin{bmatrix}[r] -15 & 12 \ 18 & -45 \end{bmatrix}.

(ii) Substituting value of A and At in 2At - 3A we get,

2At3A=2[3069]3[3609]=[601218][918027]=[6(9)01812018(27)]=[318129].\Rightarrow 2A^t - 3A = 2\begin{bmatrix}[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, 2At3A=[318129].2A^t - 3A = \begin{bmatrix}[r] 3 & -18 \ 12 & 9 \end{bmatrix}.

(iii) Substituting value of A and At in 12A13At\dfrac{1}{2}A - \dfrac{1}{3}A^t we get,

12A13At=12[3609]13[3069]=[323092][1023]=[32(1)300292(3)]=[32+13292+3]=[123232]\Rightarrow \dfrac{1}{2}A - \dfrac{1}{3}A^t = \dfrac{1}{2}\begin{bmatrix}[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, 12A13At=[123232].\dfrac{1}{2}A - \dfrac{1}{3}A^t = \begin{bmatrix}[r] -\dfrac{1}{2} & 3 \ -2 & -\dfrac{3}{2} \end{bmatrix}.

(iv) Substituting value of A and At in At13AA^t - \dfrac{1}{3}A we get,

At13A=[3069]13[3609]=[3069][1203]=[3(1)02609(3)]=[2266].\Rightarrow A^t - \dfrac{1}{3}A = \begin{bmatrix}[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, At13A=[2266].A^t - \dfrac{1}{3}A = \begin{bmatrix}[r] -2 & -2 \ 6 & -6 \end{bmatrix}.
