# Math Help - MATRIX problem: Help needed

1. ## MATRIX problem: Help needed

Hi,

Pls help to pricved solution of the below problem.

Consider the following 3 matrices:

2 12 18
13 15 20
19 17 1

12 2 1
13 14 21
9 18 7

12 2 7
30 18 22
9 16 4

Find --> (inverse of A i.e A-1) x (B x – C)

Please mail me the solution on lalitchugh@yahoo.com

Find --> (inverse of A i.e A-1) x (B x – C)
$A^{-1} B (-C)\approx \left[ \begin{array}{ccc}
-51.6&-54.6&-32.5\\
16.9&35.7&8.2\\
-17.4&-21.9&-9.2
\end{array} \right]
$

No.

Or to be precise:

$\frac{1}{2602} \left [ \begin{array}{ccc}-134355&-142196&-84492\\43995&92792&21298\\-45192&-57048&-23892\end{array} \right ]$

To expand on CaptainBlack's "no," please be aware that it is better for everyone on the site to have the solution posted here so someone else who wants to learn the process can do so and ask questions about it. If the solution is simply sent to your e-mail others will not benefit as well.

7. Hello, Lalit!

Who assigned this hideous problem . . . Torquemada?
. . (No one expects the Spanish Inquisition!)

Given: . $A = \begin{pmatrix}2&12&18\\13&15&20\\19&17&1\end{pmat rix}\;\;B = \begin{pmatrix}12&2&1\\13&14&21\\9&18&7\end{pmatri x}\;\;C = \begin{pmatrix}12&2&7\\30&18&22\\9 &16&4\end{pmatrix}$

Find: . $A^{-1} \times B \times (-C)$

Thanks to topsquark's work, all you have to do is:

. . $\frac{1}{2602}\begin{pmatrix}\text{-}134355&\text{-}142196&\text{-}84492\\43995&92792&21298\\\text{-}45192&\text{-}57048&\text{-}23892\end{pmatrix}\,\begin{pmatrix}12&2&1\\13&4&2 1\\9&18&7\end{pmatrix}$ $\begin{pmatrix}\text{-}12&\text{-}2&\text{-}7\\\text{-}30&\text{-}18&\text{-}22\\\text{-}9&\text{-}16&\text{-}4\end{pmatrix}$

Good luck!
