ASSIGNMENT #6

SECTION A

1. Given the matrices.

1 −2 1
2 3 𝑦 4
𝐴=( ) 𝐵=( ) 𝐶 = (2 0 3)
0 𝑥 −1 2
0 1 1

Evaluate the following.

(a) det 𝐵 (b) 𝐵 −1 (c) 2𝐴 + 𝐵

(d) Find y given that the matrix B is singular.

(e) 𝐶 −1

2. Solve the system of equations by any matrix method by first writing the system in matrix
form.

𝑝 − 2𝑞 + 𝑟 = 0
2𝑝 + 3𝑟 = 5
𝑞+𝑟 =2

SECTION B

1. Let
2 −2 1 0 1 2 2 0
−1 1 2
𝐴 = (0 3 4) 𝐵 = (0 2 0) 𝐶 = (0 − 1) D =( )
0 1 1
1 −1 0 1 −1 1 1 0

Evaluate the following where possible.

i. 𝐴 − 2𝐵 ii. 𝐷𝑇 + 2𝐶 iii. 𝐷𝐵 iv. 𝐸 𝑖𝑓 2𝐸 − 𝐶 = 𝐷𝐵


2. Given
−1 1 0 2 2 0
𝐴=( ) B=( ) C=( )
2 −1 1 3 −1 1

Find 𝐷 𝑖𝑓 𝐶𝐷 + 𝐴 = 𝐵

1 2 1
3. (a) Let 𝐴 = ( 2 1 − 2 )
1 −1 0

Find 𝐴−1 .

(b) Use 𝐴−1 to solve the system of equations.

𝑥 + 2𝑦 + 𝑧 = 5
2𝑥 + 𝑦 − 2𝑧 = 3
𝑥 − 𝑦 = −1

4. Use Cramer’s rule to solve the system of equations.

2𝑥 + 3𝑦 = 5
2𝑦 − 𝑧 = 1
𝑥−𝑦+𝑧 = 1
