Solving Simultaneous Equations by Matrix Inverse Problem 2.5 # 37 Presented by E. G. Gascon
How to solve To solve a system of equations AX = B, where A is the matrix of coefficients. B is the matrix of constants. Need to find A-1 the inverse of A So… solving for X = A -1 B
Finding A-1 Start by setting up the matrix with the identity in the last three columns After performing Gauss-Jordan, the resulting matrix is A-1 See next slide for Gauss- Jordan Work
Alternate way to get A-1 using Excel Function MINVERSE Step 1: Enter the 3X3 coefficient matrix in an Excel Spread Sheet. Step 2: Select a 3X3 matrix of empty cells and type =MINVERSE( matrix is step 1) Ctrl + Shift + ENTER
Solve for X matrixX = A -1 B = Times Use matrix multiplication or MMULT function in Excel. Ans: (15, -5, -1)
