8.3 Another Way of Solving a System of Equations Objectives: 1.) Learn to find the inverse matrix 2.) Use the inverse matrix to a system of equations
Consider this Let A= Y= B= Find Y if A + Y = B
Consider this Let A= Y= B= Find Y if AY = B
Alternative Form for Solving a System of Equations Using the Inverse Matrix New Notation Let A be the cofficient matrix Let X be the variable matrix Let B be the solution matrix Thus, AX= B
Coefficient Matrix (A) • A matrix whose real entries are the coefficients from a system of equations
Variable Matrix (X) • A column matrix of the unknown variables
Solution Matrix • A column matrix whose entries are the solutions of the system of equations
Identity Matrix • A square matrix with a diagonal of 1s and all other entries are zeros • RREF Form • Notation: I
Characteristic of the Identity Matrix • When a matrix is multiplied by the identity, you get the same matrix; AI= A
Inverse Matrix • Let A be a square matrix, then A-1 is the inverse matrix if AA-1 = I = A-1A
Example • A = B= Thus B can be notated A-1 because it is the inverse of A.
Finding the Inverse Matrix (The original matrix needs to be square!) 1.) Write the augmented matrix with [A:I] (The coefficient matrix and the identity matrix side by side 2.) Do proper row reductions to both A and I until A is in rref form (It has become an identity matrix itself 3.) The change in I is the inverse matrix of A, A-1 *** If you get a row of full zeros, the inverse does not exist****
