Practice Questions on Matrices 5.

Determine, in each case, whether the system of


equations has a unique solution:
1. Given the matrices (a)
  x+ 6y = 5
1 3 2 1
A= , 2 x+ 3y = 2
4 −2 1
(b)
and   x1 + 2x2 + x3 =2
1 0 −1 −x1 + 2x3 =0
B=
2 1 −4 x1 − x2 + x3 =2
evaluate
6. Calculate the inverse of the matrix
(a)  
A + 2B 2 0 1
 2 1 2  .
0 1 −1
(b)
AT − BT Hence or otherwise solve the system of equations

2. Perform the following matrix multiplications: 2x1 + x3 =1


(a) 2x1 + x2 + 2x3 = −1

1 3

−1 2
 x2 − x3 =2
2 0 2 4
7. Using Gaussian reduction, solve the following
(b) system of linear equations:
  
1 2 4 2 −1 0 x2 + 2x3 = 6
 −1 0 2  1 2 2  3x1 − 3x2 − 3x3 = −15
2 1 −1 1 3 1 x1 + 3x2 + 3x3 = 11

3. Calculate the inverse of the matrix


 
1 2
−1 3

Use this to solve the system of equations

x1 + 2x2 =1
−x1 + 3x2 =2

4. Let A and B be the matrices


   
3 1 1 2
A= , B=
5 1 2 1

and let X be an unknown 2 × 2 matrix. Solve


the following matrix equations for X:
(a)

A + 6B = 2X − 3I

(b)

AX + B = 2X .
