UNIT 3.6 SOLVING SYSTEMSUNIT 3.6 SOLVING SYSTEMSUSING MATRICESUSING MATRICES
Warm UpMultiple the matrices.
1.
Find the determinant.
2. 3. –1 0
Determine whether a matrix has an inverse.Solve systems of equations using inverse matrices.
Objectives
The identity matrix I has 1’s on the main diagonal and 0’s everywhere else.
Remember!
Example 1A: Determining Whether Two Matrices Are Inverses by using your graphing calculator
Determine whether the two given matrices are inverses.
The product is the identity matrix I, so the matrices are inverses.
Example 1B: Determining Whether Two Matrices Are Inverses by using your graphing calculator
Determine whether the two given matrices are inverses.
Neither product is I, so the matrices are not inverses.
Check It Out! Example 1
Determine whether the given matrices are inverses.
The product is the identity matrix I, so the matrices are inverses.
Example 2: Finding the Inverse of a Matrix by using your graphing calculator
Find the inverse of the matrix if it is defined.
Check It Out! Example 3
Find the inverse of , if it is defined.
To solve systems of equations with the inverse, you first write the matrix equation AX = B, where A is the coefficient matrix, X is the variable matrix,and B is the constant matrix.
You can use the inverse of a matrix to solve a system of equations. This process is similar to solving an equation such as 5x = 20 by multiplying
each side by , the multiplicative inverse of 5.
The matrix equation representing is shown.
To solve AX = B, multiply both sides by the inverse A-1.
A-1AX = A-1B
IX = A-1B
X = A-1B
The product of A-1 and A is I.
Example 4: Solving Systems Using Inverse Matrices
Write the matrix equation for the system and solve.
Step 1 Set up the matrix equation.
Write: coefficient matrix variable matrix = constant matrix.
A X = B
