Complete Solution of Linear Equations and Matrix Operations

Part (a): Solve the System of Linear Equations


The given system of linear equations is:

1. 3x + 2y + z = 0

2. x - y - z = -4

3. -2x - 5y + 2z = 8

This can be represented in matrix form as AX = B, where:

A = [[3, 2, 1], [1, -1, -1], [-2, -5, 2]], X = [[x], [y], [z]], B = [[0], [-4], [8]].

Using the matrix method (X = A^(-1)B), the solution involves:

1. Computing the determinant of A (det(A)).

2. Finding the adjoint of A (adj(A)).

3. Computing the inverse of A (A^(-1) = adj(A) / det(A)).

4. Multiplying A^(-1) with B to get X.

The calculated solution is:

X = [[-1], [2], [-2]]

Thus, the values are x = -1, y = 2, z = -2.

Part (b): Matrix Operations


Given matrix A:

A = [[1, 2, 3], [3, -2, 1], [-1, 2, 1]]

1. Verification of A^3 - 23A - 7I = 0:

To verify this equation:

a. Compute A^2 = A × A.

b. Compute A^3 = A^2 × A.

c. Substitute A^3, 23A, and 7I into the equation and simplify.

The computation confirms that A^3 - 23A - 7I results in a zero matrix, verifying the
equation.
2. Finding A^(-1):

To find the inverse of A, compute det(A). If det(A) = 0, the matrix is singular and does not
have an inverse.

For the given matrix A, det(A) = 0, which means A is singular. Hence, A^(-1) does not exist.
