Powered by AIThe determinant of B is calculated as \(|B| = 3(2×0 - 3×1) - 4(0×0 - 3×4) + 1(0×1 - 2×4) = -9 + 48 - 8 = 31\). Since \(|B| \neq 0\), B is invertible .
To show \( B^2 = -B \), start by calculating \( B = A - I \). Then, compute \( B^2 = (A - I)^2 = A^2 - 2A + I \). Since \( A^2 = A \), substitute to get \( B^2 = A - 2A + I = -A + I \). As \( B = A - I \), hence \( B^2 = -B \).
Form the coefficient matrix A and determine its invertibility by checking if its determinant is non-zero. Calculate \(A^{-1}\). Multiply \(A^{-1}\) by the matrix of constants \(B\). The product gives the solutions for x and y. The process confirms the solutions are correct through verification .
Matrix A is singular if its determinant is zero. Calculate \(|A|\). If \(|A| = 0\), the matrix is singular. Step through the determinant calculation with real numbers for α; typically setting α values until determinant evaluates to zero identifies singularity .
Given |AB| ≠ 0, both A and B have inverses. Start with (AB)⁻¹AB = I. Multiply from the right by BA, yielding (AB)⁻¹ = B⁻¹A⁻¹ by properties of inverse matrices: associating (B⁻¹A⁻¹)(AB) = I .
Matrix A becomes symmetric if its transpose is equal to itself. This requires that a = 5 and b = 6, ensuring that the elements satisfy the symmetry condition along the diagonal .
The determinant of A is \(|A| = 5(3×2 - 4×5) - 6(2×2 - 4×1) + 7(2×5 - 3×1) = 5(-14) - 6(0) + 7(7) = -70 + 49 = -21\). The non-zero determinant indicates that A is invertible .
Matrix C is classified as a diagonal matrix if all of its non-diagonal elements are zero. This means elements c, d, f, g, and h in matrix C should be zero .
Expand B²: \((3(A + I))^2 = 9(A + I)(A + I) = 9(A² + 2A + I)\. Substitute A² = I, leading to \(9(I + 2A + I) = 9(2I + 2A)\). Simplify to obtain \(6(3(A + I)) = 6B\). This demonstrates the equality .
First, rewrite the system as AX = B, where A is the matrix of coefficients and B is the constants matrix. Apply Cramer's rule by finding the determinants of A and its variations when each column is replaced by B. The solutions for x, y, z are derived from these determinants, satisfying A being invertible .
