|A| = 1(9 – 4) – 1(12 – 12) + 1(8 – 18)


= 1(5) – 1(0) + 1(– 10)


= 5 – 0 – 10


= – 5


Hence, the unique solution given by x = A – 1B


C11 = (– 1)1 + 1 (9 – 4) = 5


C12 = (– 1)1 + 2 (12 – 12) = 0


C13 = (– 1)1 + 3 (8 – 18) = – 10


C21 = (– 1)2 + 1 (3 – 2) = – 1


C22 = (– 1)2 + 2 (3 – 6) = – 3


C23 = (– 1)2 + 3 (2 – 6 ) = 4


C31 = (– 1)3 + 1 (2 – 3) = – 1


C32 = (– 1)3 + 2 (2 – 4) = 2

Exercise 8.2
Question 1.

Solve the following systems of homogeneous linear equations by matrix method:


Answer:

2x – y + z = 0


3x + 2y – z = 0


X + 4y + 3z = 0


The system can be written as



A X = 0


Now, |A| = 2(6 + 4) + 1(9 + 1) + 1(12 – 2)


|A| = 2(10) + 10 + 10


|A| = 40 ≠ 0


Since, |A|≠ 0, hence x = y = z = 0 is the only solution of this homogeneous equation.

Now, |A| = 2(– 15 + 5) + 1(– 25 + 1) + 2(25 – 3)


|A| = – 20 – 24 + 44


|A| = 0


Hence, the system has infinite solutions


Let z = k


2x – y = – 2k


5x + 3y = k

Now, |A| = 3(12 – 21) + 1(16 – 15) + 2(28 – 15)


|A| = – 27 + 1 + 26


|A| = 0


Hence, the system has infinite solutions


Let z = k


3x – y = – 2k


4x + 3y = – 3k



A X = B


|A| = 9 + 4 = 13 ≠0 So, A – 1 exist


Now adj A = =

Now, |A| = 1(– 2 – 2) – 1(2 + 6) – 6(1 – 3)


|A| = – 4 – 8 + 12


|A| = 0


Hence, the system has infinite solutions


Let z = k


X + y = 6k


x – y = – 2k



A X = B


|A| = – 1 – 1 = – 2 ≠0 So, A – 1 exist


Now adj A = =

x + y + z = 0

x – y – 5z = 0

x + 2y + 4z = 0

A X = 0


Now, |A| = 1(6) – 1(9) + 1(3) = 0


|A| = 6 – 9 + 3


|A| = 0


Hence, the system has infinite solutions


Let z = k


X + y = – k


x – y = 5k



A X = B


|A| = – 1 – 1 = – 2 ≠0 So, A – 1 exist


Now adj A = =


X = A – 1 B =


X =


X =

x + y – z = 0

x – 2y + z = 0

3x + 6y – 5z = 0

A X = 0


Now, |A| = 1(4) – 1(– 8) – 1(12) = 0


|A| = 4 + 8 – 12


|A| = 0


Hence, the system has infinite solutions


Let z = k


X + y = k


x – 2y = – k



A X = B


|A| = – 2 – 1 = – 3 ≠0 So, A – 1 exist

3x + y – 2z = 0

x + y + z = 0

x – 2y + z = 0


Answer:

The system can be written as



A X = 0


Now, |A| = 3(1 + 2) – 1(1 – 1) – 2(– 2 – 1) = 0


|A| = 9 – 0 + 6


|A| = 15


Hence, the given system has only trivial solution given by x = y = z = 0



Question 8.

Solve the following systems of homogeneous linear equations by matrix method:

2x + 3y – z = 0

x – y – 2z = 0

3x + y + 3z = 0

A X = 0


Now, |A| = 2(– 3 + 2) – 3(3 + 6) – 1(1 + 3) = 0


|A| = – 2 – 27 – 4


|A| = – 33


Hence, the given system has only trivial solution given by x = y = z = 0

Answer:

The given matrix equation is :



The first matrix is an identity matrix which is denoted by I .


Let P = and B =


Thus the equation becomes


IP = B


As we know that any matrix when multiplied with the identity matrix will be the matrix itself. But here the order of I is 3while the order of P is 3, so the order of the result matrix is 3
