Math question
here your linear system can be rewritten as follows: \[\left( {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} 3&4 \\ 2&5 \end{array}} \right) \cdot \left( {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} x \\ y \end{array}} \right) = \left( {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} { - 2} \\ 6 \end{array}} \right)\]
now, we have to find the inverse matrix of the coefficients matrix: \[\left( {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} 3&4 \\ 2&5 \end{array}} \right)\]
Ok and then what?
such inverse matrix, is: \[\left( {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} {5/7}&{ - 4/7} \\ { - 2/7}&{3/7} \end{array}} \right)\] please check my computations
Ok, and then how do we find the product of the solution?
it is simple, since the solution of your system is: \[\left( {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} {5/7}&{ - 4/7} \\ { - 2/7}&{3/7} \end{array}} \right) \cdot \left( {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} { - 2} \\ 6 \end{array}} \right) = \left( {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} x \\ y \end{array}} \right)\]
Ohh so the answer is C?
are you sure?
I think so...can you check?
the solution of your system, can be rewritten as follows: \[\frac{1}{7}\left( {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} 5&{ - 4} \\ { - 2}&3 \end{array}} \right) \cdot \left( {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} { - 2} \\ 6 \end{array}} \right) = \left( {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} x \\ y \end{array}} \right)\]
Oh so D! Thanks Michele! :)
correct! :)
