Past Year SPM Questions: (Matrices Paper 2)

1. The inverse of the matrix A does not exist if k = 2. The given simultaneous equations can be written as a matrix equation and solved to find the values of x and y. 2. The inverse and matrix representation of the given simultaneous equations are found. The equations are then solved using matrices to find the values of x and y. 3. The inverse of the given matrix is calculated. The simultaneous equations are then written as a matrix equation and solved using matrices to find the values of x and y.
