Q25 of 29 Page 1

If matrix A = , find A–1. Use it to solve the system of equations.

2x – 3y + 5z = 11


3x + 2y – 4z = 0


x + y – 2z = – 3.


OR


Using elementary row transformations, find the inverse of the matrix A = .

A =

A = 2( – 4 + 4) + 3( – 6 + 4) + 5(3 – 2) = 0 – 6 + 5 = – 10


Now,




…… (i)


Now the given system of equations can be written in the form of AX = B, where


A = , X = , B =


The solution of the system of equations is given by X =


X =


[Using (i)]




Hence, x = 1, y = 2, z = 3.


OR


A =


|A| = 1( – 25 + 28) – 2( – 10 + 14) + 3( – 8 + 100)


= 3 – 2(4) + 3(2)


= 9 – 8


= 1 0


exists.


A. = I
