Given a system of equations, solve with matrix inverses using a calculator.
Save the coefficient matrix and the constant matrix as matrix variables
and
Enter the multiplication into the calculator, calling up each matrix variable as needed.
If the coefficient matrix is invertible, the calculator will present the solution matrix; if the coefficient matrix is not invertible, the calculator will present an error message.
Using a calculator to solve a system of equations with matrix inverses
Solve the system of equations with matrix inverses using a calculator
On the matrix page of the calculator, enter the
coefficient matrix as the matrix variable
and enter the constant matrix as the matrix variable
On the home screen of the calculator, type in the multiplication to solve for
calling up each matrix variable as needed.
An invertible matrix has the property

Use matrix multiplication and the identity to find the inverse of a
matrix. See
[link] .
The multiplicative inverse can be found using a formula. See
[link] .
Another method of finding the inverse is by augmenting with the identity. See
[link] .
We can augment a
matrix with the identity on the right and use row operations to turn the original matrix into the identity, and the matrix on the right becomes the inverse. See
[link] .
Write the system of equations as
and multiply both sides by the inverse of

In a previous section, we showed that matrix multiplication is not commutative, that is,
in most cases. Can you explain why matrix multiplication is commutative for matrix inverses, that is,
If
is the inverse of
then
the identity matrix. Since
is also the inverse of
You can also check by proving this for a
matrix.
the transfer of energy by a force that causes an object to be displaced; the product of the component of the force in the direction of the displacement and the magnitude of the displacement
A wave is described by the function D(x,t)=(1.6cm) sin[(1.2cm^-1(x+6.8cm/st] what are:a.Amplitude b. wavelength c. wave number d. frequency e. period f. velocity of speed.
A body is projected upward at an angle 45° 18minutes with the horizontal with an initial speed of 40km per second. In hoe many seconds will the body reach the ground then how far from the point of projection will it strike. At what angle will the horizontal will strike
Suppose hydrogen and oxygen are diffusing through air. A small amount of each is released simultaneously. How much time passes before the hydrogen is 1.00 s ahead of the oxygen? Such differences in arrival times are used as an analytical tool in gas chromatography.
the science concerned with describing the interactions of energy, matter, space, and time; it is especially interested in what fundamental mechanisms underlie every phenomenon
