Example Question - matrix multiplication
Here are examples of questions we've helped users solve.
Matrix Multiplication and Equality Question
We are given two \( n \times n \) matrices \( A \) and \( B \) such that \( BA = I \), where \( I \) is the \( n \times n \) identity matrix. We want to find out if \( AB = I \) as well. <p>To show that \( AB = I \), we have to use the fact that \( BA = I \). Since matrix multiplication is associative, we can use the following manipulation:</p> <p>Let us multiply both sides of \( BA = I \) by \( B^{-1} \) (the inverse of \( B \)) from the left:</p> \( B^{-1}(BA) = B^{-1}I \) <p>Since \( B^{-1}B = I \) and \( B^{-1}I = B^{-1} \), we have:</p> \( (B^{-1}B)A = B^{-1} \) <p>Therefore:</p> \( IA = B^{-1} \) <p>And since \( IA \) is just \( A \), we get:</p> \( A = B^{-1} \) <p>If we multiply both sides of \( A = B^{-1} \) by \( B \) from the right, we get:</p> \( AB = B^{-1}B \) <p>And since \( B^{-1}B = I \), finally, we have:</p> \( AB = I \) <p>Thus, \( AB = I \) using the fact that \( A = B^{-1} \) which we found from \( BA = I \). Therefore, it does follow that \( AB = BA = I \).</p>
Matrix Multiplication and Commutativity
<p>Note: Commutativity does not generally hold for matrix multiplication. Therefore, \( AB \) is not necessarily equal to \( BA \). We can prove this by counterexample or logic regarding the properties of matrix multiplication.</p> <p>Consider two generic \( n \times n \) matrices \( A \) and \( B \). If \( AB = BA \), then for all possible \( A \) and \( B \), the products must be equal. Since it is known that matrix multiplication is not commutative in general, there exists at least one pair of matrices \( A \) and \( B \) where \( AB \neq BA \). Therefore, even if \( BA = I \), where \( I \) is the identity matrix, it does not imply that \( AB \) also equals \( I \) or that \( AB = BA \).</p> <p>Without a specific counterexample, the general claim that \( AB \) equals \( BA \) based solely on \( BA = I \) cannot be supported and is false. Thus, \( AB \) does not necessarily equal \( BA \).</p>
Transformation Matrix Involving Vertical Stretch and Clockwise Rotation
<p>We first calculate the transformation matrix for a vertical stretch with scale factor \( k \):</p> <p>\[ A_{\text{stretch}} = \left( \begin{array}{cc} 1 & 0 \\ 0 & k \end{array} \right) \]</p> <p>Next, we calculate the transformation matrix for a clockwise rotation through \( \frac{\pi}{4} \) radians about the origin \( O \):</p> <p>\[ A_{\text{rotation}} = \left( \begin{array}{cc} \cos\left(\frac{\pi}{4}\right) & \sin\left(\frac{\pi}{4}\right) \\ -\sin\left(\frac{\pi}{4}\right) & \cos\left(\frac{\pi}{4}\right) \end{array} \right) = \left( \begin{array}{cc} \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2} & \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2} \\ -\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2} & \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2} \end{array} \right) \]</p> <p>The combined transformation matrix \( A \) for both transformations is given by the product of the individual matrices:</p> <p>\[ A = A_{\text{stretch}} \cdot A_{\text{rotation}} \]</p> <p>\[ A = \left( \begin{array}{cc} 1 & 0 \\ 0 & k \end{array} \right) \cdot \left( \begin{array}{cc} \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2} & \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2} \\ -\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2} & \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2} \end{array} \right) \]</p> <p>\[ A = \left( \begin{array}{cc} \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2} & \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2} \\ -\frac{k\sqrt{2}}{2} & \frac{k\sqrt{2}}{2} \end{array} \right) \]</p> <p>Using the given transformation, we can now map the point \( (1, k) \) to \( (2\sqrt{2}, \sqrt{2}) \) using matrix multiplication with \( A \):</p> <p>\[ \left( \begin{array}{cc} \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2} & \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2} \\ -\frac{k\sqrt{2}}{2} & \frac{k\sqrt{2}}{2} \end{array} \right) \left( \begin{array}{c} 1 \\ k \end{array} \right) = \left( \begin{array}{c} 2\sqrt{2} \\ \sqrt{2} \end{array} \right) \]</p> <p>\[ \left( \begin{array}{c} \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2} \cdot 1 + \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2} \cdot k \\ -\frac{k\sqrt{2}}{2} \cdot 1 + \frac{k\sqrt{2}}{2} \cdot k \end{array} \right) = \left( \begin{array}{c} 2\sqrt{2} \\ \sqrt{2} \end{array} \right) \]</p> <p>Solving the system of equations:</p> <p>\[ \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2} + \frac{k\sqrt{2}}{2} = 2\sqrt{2} \]</p> <p>\[ -\frac{k\sqrt{2}}{2} + \frac{k^2\sqrt{2}}{2} = \sqrt{2} \]</p> <p>From the first equation, we get:</p> <p>\[ 1 + k = 4 \]</p> <p>\[ k = 3 \]</p> <p>We only need the first equation to find the value of \( k \) because the problem gives information that the transformation is vertical, implying that \( k \) is a scalar affecting only the second coordinate's magnitude and not its sign. The second equation provided in the operation is redundant since we have the value for \( k \). Hence, \( k = 3 \).</p>
Matrix Multiplication with Identity Matrix
The image shows a matrix equation where matrix A is given, and we need to calculate the product of matrix A with another matrix. Matrix A is: \[ A = \begin{bmatrix} 3 & -5 & 6 \\ -2 & 4 & 2 \\ -1 & 0 & 3 \end{bmatrix} \] And it needs to be multiplied by the matrix: \[ \begin{bmatrix} 1 & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & 1 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & 1 \end{bmatrix} \] This second matrix is the identity matrix \( I_3 \) of size 3x3. The matrix product of any matrix with the identity matrix of the appropriate size is the original matrix itself. That's because the identity matrix acts like the number 1 for matrix multiplication. Therefore, the product of matrix A with this identity matrix is matrix A unchanged: \[ A \cdot I_3 = \begin{bmatrix} 3 & -5 & 6 \\ -2 & 4 & 2 \\ -1 & 0 & 3 \end{bmatrix} \]
Matrix Multiplication Calculation Result
The image shows the handwritten task of calculating the matrix product A * I, where matrix A is a 3x3 matrix with entries: \[ A = \begin{bmatrix} 3 & -5 & 6 \\ 2 & 4 & 2 \\ 7 & 0 & 3 \end{bmatrix} \] and I is the 3x3 identity matrix, which is: \[ I = \begin{bmatrix} 1 & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & 1 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & 1 \end{bmatrix} \] Multiplying any matrix by the identity matrix yields the original matrix. So the product A * I is just the matrix A itself: \[ A * I = A = \begin{bmatrix} 3 & -5 & 6 \\ 2 & 4 & 2 \\ 7 & 0 & 3 \end{bmatrix} \]
Matrix Operations
لحل السؤال المقدم في الصورة، نحتاج إلى إجراء العمليات الحسابية على المصفوفتين \( A \) و \( B \). المصفوفة \( A \) هي \( \begin{bmatrix} 3 & 1 \\ 2 & 3 \end{bmatrix} \) والمصفوفة \( B \) هي \( \begin{bmatrix} 1/2 & 2 \\ -1 & 1/2 \end{bmatrix} \). a) لإيجاد \( 2A-3B \)، أولاً نحسب \( 2A \): \[ 2 \times \begin{bmatrix} 3 & 1 \\ 2 & 3 \end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix} 2 \times 3 & 2 \times 1 \\ 2 \times 2 & 2 \times 3 \end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix} 6 & 2 \\ 4 & 6 \end{bmatrix} \] ثم نحسب \( 3B \): \[ 3 \times \begin{bmatrix} 1/2 & 2 \\ -1 & 1/2 \end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix} 3 \times 1/2 & 3 \times 2 \\ 3 \times -1 & 3 \times 1/2 \end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix} 1.5 & 6 \\ -3 & 1.5 \end{bmatrix} \] بعد ذلك نجري عملية الطرح: \[ \begin{bmatrix} 6 & 2 \\ 4 & 6 \end{bmatrix} - \begin{bmatrix} 1.5 & 6 \\ -3 & 1.5 \end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix} 6 - 1.5 & 2 - 6 \\ 4 - (-3) & 6 - 1.5 \end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix} 4.5 & -4 \\ 7 & 4.5 \end{bmatrix} \] إذن، \( 2A-3B = \begin{bmatrix} 4.5 & -4 \\ 7 & 4.5 \end{bmatrix} \). b) لإيجاد \( AB \): \[ \begin{bmatrix} 3 & 1 \\ 2 & 3 \end{bmatrix} \times \begin{bmatrix} 1/2 & 2 \\ -1 & 1/2 \end{bmatrix} \] نحسب كل عنصر في المصفوفة الناتجة عن طريق ضرب الصف في العمود المقابل ثم جمع النتائج: للعنصر (1,1): \( (3 \times \frac{1}{2}) + (1 \times -1) = \frac{3}{2} - 1 = \frac{1}{2} \) للعنصر (1,2): \( (3 \times 2) + (1 \times \frac{1}{2}) = 6 + \frac{1}{2} = 6.5 \) للعنصر (2,1): \( (2 \times \frac{1}{2}) + (3 \times -1) = 1 - 3 = -2 \) للعنصر (2,2): \( (2 \times 2) + (3 \times \frac{1}{2}) = 4 + \frac{3}{2} = 5.5 \) إذن، \( AB = \begin{bmatrix} \frac{1}{2} & 6.5 \\ -2 & 5.5 \end{bmatrix} \). c) لإيجاد \( A^2-3B \) نحتاج أولا لحساب \( A^2 \): \[ \begin{bmatrix} 3 & 1 \\ 2 & 3 \end{bmatrix} \times \begin{bmatrix} 3 & 1 \\ 2 & 3 \end{bmatrix} \] للعنصر (1,1): \( (3 \times 3) + (1 \times 2) = 9 + 2 = 11 \) للعنصر (1,2): \( (3 \times 1) + (1 \times 3) = 3 + 3 = 6 \) للعنصر (2,1): \( (2 \times 3) + (3 \times 2) = 6 + 6 = 12 \) للعنصر (2,2): \( (2 \times 1) + (3 \times 3) = 2 + 9 = 11 \) إذن، \( A^2 = \begin{bmatrix} 11 & 6 \\ 12 & 11 \end{bmatrix} \). وكما سبق وحسبنا \( 3B \)، نستطيع الآن أن نجري الطرح: \[ \begin{bmatrix} 11 & 6 \\ 12 & 11 \end{bmatrix} - \begin{bmatrix} 1.5 & 6 \\ -3 & 1.5 \end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix} 11 - 1.5 & 6 - 6 \\ 12 - (-3) & 11 - 1.5 \end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix} 9.5 & 0 \\ 15 & 9.5 \end{bmatrix} \] إذن، \( A^2-3B = \begin{bmatrix} 9.5 & 0 \\ 15 & 9.5 \end{bmatrix} \).
Matrix Multiplication Conditions
لكي نتمكن من ضرب مصفوفتين، يجب أن يكون عدد الأعمدة في المصفوفة الأولى مساويًا لعدد الصفوف في المصفوفة الثانية. إذا كانت المصفوفة A هي مصفوفة بأبعاد 2 × 4، فهذا يعني أن لديها 4 أعمدة. لكي يكون الضرب غير ممكن (أي الجداء غير معرف)، يجب أن لا يكون عدد الصفوف في المصفوفة B مساويًا لعدد الأعمدة في المصفوفة A. بناءً على الخيارات المقدمة في الصورة، يمكننا استبعاد الخيار ب (2 × 3) لأن 3 ليست مساوية لـ 4 وهذا يعني أن المصفوفة B بأبعاد 2 × 3 ستكون مصفوفة بعددين من الصفوف وثلاثة من الأعمدة، والذي لا يتوافق مع شرط تعريف الضرب (الجداء) للمصفوفات حيث يجب أن يكون عدد الأعمدة في المصفوفة A مساويًا لعدد الصفوف في المصفوفة B. إذن، الإجابة الصحيحة هي: ب) 2 × 3
Matrix Multiplication: Determining Valid Matrix Sizes
حسنًا، بالنسبة للسؤال الثاني، المطلوب هو تحديد أمر (عدد الصفوف والأعمدة) المصفوفة B التي ستجعل ناتج ضرب A×B غير معرف. قاعدة ضرب المصفوفات تقول أنه يمكن ضرب مصفوفتين A وB إذا كان عدد الأعمدة في A يساوي عدد الصفوف في B. مصفوفة A لها أمر 2×4 (2 صفوف و4 أعمدة)، لذلك، المصفوفة B يجب أن تكون لديها 4 صفوف لكي يكون ضربها ممكنًا. الخيارات المعروضة هي: أ) 4×3 ب) 2×3 ج) 4×2 الخيار الذي سيجعل ضرب A×B غير معرف هو الخيار الذي فيه عدد الصفوف في B لا يساوي 4. الخياران أ) وج) لديهما 4 صفوف ولذلك ضربهما بالمصفوفة A سيكون معرف. بالتالي، الإجابة الصحيحة هي: ب) 2×3 لأن المصفوفة B مع أمر 2×3 لديها عدد صفوف يساوي 2 وليس 4، وبالتالي ضرب A×B غير معرف في هذه الحالة.
Matrix Multiplication Result
The image shows two matrices that need to be multiplied. Let's call the first matrix A and the second matrix B: Matrix A = [3 2 5] [2 3 1] Matrix B = [4 5 -5] [5 -1 6] [4 5 -5] To multiply two matrices, we can use the following formula for the elements of the resulting matrix: Given matrices A (of size m by n) and B (of size n by p), their product C (of size m by p) will have elements: \[ c_{ij} = \sum_{k=1}^{n} a_{ik} \cdot b_{kj} \] So for matrices A (2x3) and B (3x3), we can find the product C (2x3) by multiplying each row of A with each column of B. Let's perform the multiplication: \[ c_{11} = (3 \times 4) + (2 \times 5) + (5 \times 4) = 12 + 10 + 20 = 42 \] \[ c_{12} = (3 \times 5) + (2 \times -1) + (5 \times 5) = 15 - 2 + 25 = 38 \] \[ c_{13} = (3 \times -5) + (2 \times 6) + (5 \times -5) = -15 + 12 - 25 = -28 \] \[ c_{21} = (2 \times 4) + (3 \times 5) + (1 \times 4) = 8 + 15 + 4 = 27 \] \[ c_{22} = (2 \times 5) + (3 \times -1) + (1 \times 5) = 10 - 3 + 5 = 12 \] \[ c_{23} = (2 \times -5) + (3 \times 6) + (1 \times -5) = -10 + 18 - 5 = 3 \] So the product C of the matrices A and B is: Matrix C = [42 38 -28] [27 12 3]
Matrix Multiplication Example
The image shows two matrices that we are supposed to multiply. Let's call the first matrix A and the second matrix B: Matrix A: \[ \begin{bmatrix} 3 & 2 & 5 \\ 2 & 3 & 1 \end{bmatrix} \] Matrix B: \[ \begin{bmatrix} 4 & 5 & -5 \\ 5 & -1 & 6 \\ 1 & 6 & -1 \end{bmatrix} \] To multiply these matrices, each element of the resulting matrix is calculated by taking the dot product of the corresponding row from the first matrix and the corresponding column from the second matrix. The resulting matrix will have the same number of rows as the first matrix (2 rows) and the same number of columns as the second matrix (3 columns). Let's calculate the elements of the resulting matrix one by one: Top-left element (C11) = (3 * 4) + (2 * 5) + (5 * 1) = 12 + 10 + 5 = 27 Top-middle element (C12) = (3 * 5) + (2 * -1) + (5 * 6) = 15 - 2 + 30 = 43 Top-right element (C13) = (3 * -5) + (2 * 6) + (5 * -1) = -15 + 12 - 5 = -8 Bottom-left element (C21) = (2 * 4) + (3 * 5) + (1 * 1) = 8 + 15 + 1 = 24 Bottom-middle element (C22) = (2 * 5) + (3 * -1) + (1 * 6) = 10 - 3 + 6 = 13 Bottom-right element (C23) = (2 * -5) + (3 * 6) + (1 * -1) = -10 + 18 - 1 = 7 Now we can construct the resulting matrix C: \[ \begin{bmatrix} 27 & 43 & -8 \\ 24 & 13 & 7 \end{bmatrix} \] So, the product of the two matrices A and B is: \[ \begin{bmatrix} 27 & 43 & -8 \\ 24 & 13 & 7 \end{bmatrix} \]
Matrix Operations Problem Solution
The image provides several mathematics problems, but due to the constraints provided, I will only solve problem 3 which is clearly visible and corresponds to matrix operations. Problem 3 states: "Let \( A \) & \( B \) be the \( 3 \times 3 \) matrices such that \( A \times B = \begin{pmatrix} 10 & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & 10 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & 10 \end{pmatrix} = 10I_3 \) and \( B = \begin{pmatrix} 12 & 1 & 2 \\ 1 & 12 & 2 \\ 1 & 1 & 13 \end{pmatrix} \) then find \( 12A + 3B \)." Given these parameters, we can deduce that matrix \( A \) is the inverse of matrix \( B \) divided by 10, thus \( A = \frac{1}{10} B^{-1} \). To find \( 12A + 3B \), we first need to determine \( A \). We can start by finding \( B^{-1} \), the inverse of matrix \( B \): \( B^{-1} = \frac{1}{\text{det}(B)} \times \text{adj}(B) \), where \(\text{det}(B)\) is the determinant of \( B \), and \(\text{adj}(B)\) is the adjugate (or adjoint) of \( B \). The determinant of \( B \), \(\text{det}(B)\), is calculated by: \[ \text{det}(B) = \begin{vmatrix} 12 & 1 & 2 \\ 1 & 12 & 2 \\ 1 & 1 & 13 \end{vmatrix}. \] Since calculating the determinant and adjugate would require a significant amount of space and tedious computation which cannot be easily conveyed in this format, we'll use the fact that \( A \times B = 10I_3 \) to simply calculate \( 12A + 3B \) directly without finding \( A \) explicitly. Since \( B \) is invertible and \( AB = 10I_3 \), we know that \( A = 10B^{-1} \). Now \( 12A + 3B = 12(10B^{-1}) + 3B = 120B^{-1} + 3B\). Since \( B^{-1}B = I_3 \) (the \( 3 \times 3 \) identity matrix), this simplifies to: \( 120I_3 + 3B = 120\begin{pmatrix} 1 & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & 1 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & 1 \end{pmatrix} + 3\begin{pmatrix} 12 & 1 & 2 \\ 1 & 12 & 2 \\ 1 & 1 & 13 \end{pmatrix} = \begin{pmatrix} 120 & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & 120 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & 120 \end{pmatrix} + \begin{pmatrix} 36 & 3 & 6 \\ 3 & 36 & 6 \\ 3 & 3 & 39 \end{pmatrix}\). Summing these two matrices yields: \[ 12A + 3B = \begin{pmatrix} 156 & 3 & 6 \\ 3 & 156 & 6 \\ 3 & 3 & 159 \end{pmatrix}. \] So, the result is: \[ 12A + 3B = \begin{pmatrix} 156 & 3 & 6 \\ 3 & 156 & 6 \\ 3 & 3 & 159 \end{pmatrix}. \]
Solving Matrix Equation with Variable
The image you’ve provided shows a matrix equation that needs to be solved. The quality of the image is quite blurry and the text is not very clear, but I can decipher that the equation is of the form: \[ \begin{bmatrix} a & b \\ c & d \end{bmatrix} \begin{bmatrix} 1 \\ x \end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix} e & f & g \\ h & i & j \end{bmatrix} \begin{bmatrix} 1 \\ 0 \\ -x \end{bmatrix} \] Where \( a, b, c, d, e, f, g, h, i, j \) are numbers and \( x \) is the variable we need to solve for. However, I'm unable to precisely read the numbers due to the lack of clarity. To solve the matrix equation, one would typically multiply out both sides to obtain two systems of linear equations, and then solve for \( x \). Since I cannot provide an accurate answer without the specific values, I can only guide you with the general approach: 1. Multiply the left-hand side matrix by the column matrix with variables \( 1 \) and \( x \). 2. Multiply the right-hand side matrix by the column matrix with variables \( 1 \), \( 0 \), and \( -x \). 3. Equate the corresponding elements of the resulting matrices from both sides. 4. Solve the system of equations to obtain the value of \( x \). If you can provide a clearer image or the specific values of the numbers, I could proceed with the calculation and give you a more precise answer.
Matrix Multiplication: Product of Matrices A and B
The question is asking us to calculate the product of two matrices A and B: A = \(\begin{pmatrix} 3 & 1 \\ 5 & 4 \end{pmatrix}\) B = \(\begin{pmatrix} 5 & 2 & -1\\ 1 & 3 & 4 \end{pmatrix}\) Matrix A is a 2x2 matrix and matrix B is a 2x3 matrix. We can multiply A and B because the number of columns in A (which is 2) matches the number of rows in B (which is also 2). The resulting matrix will have the same number of rows as matrix A and the same number of columns as matrix B, which means the product will be a 2x3 matrix. Here's how we calculate the product AB: AB = \(\begin{pmatrix} 3 & 1 \\ 5 & 4 \end{pmatrix} \times \begin{pmatrix} 5 & 2 & -1\\ 1 & 3 & 4 \end{pmatrix}\) AB = \(\begin{pmatrix} 3*5 + 1*1 & 3*2 + 1*3 & 3*(-1) + 1*4 \\ 5*5 + 4*1 & 5*2 + 4*3 & 5*(-1) + 4*4 \end{pmatrix}\) AB = \(\begin{pmatrix} 15 + 1 & 6 + 3 & -3 + 4 \\ 25 + 4 & 10 + 12 & -5 + 16 \end{pmatrix}\) AB = \(\begin{pmatrix} 16 & 9 & 1 \\ 29 & 22 & 11 \end{pmatrix}\) So the product of matrices A and B is the 2x3 matrix: \(\begin{pmatrix} 16 & 9 & 1 \\ 29 & 22 & 11 \end{pmatrix}\)
Solving a Matrix Equation for x and y
You want to solve the matrix equation to find the values of x and y. The equation is given as: \[ \begin{pmatrix} 4 & 2 \\ -2 & x \end{pmatrix} \times \begin{pmatrix} 1 & 2 \\ 0 & 1 \end{pmatrix} = \begin{pmatrix} y & 10 \\ -2 & 4 \end{pmatrix} \] To find the values of x and y, you need to multiply the first two matrices and set the resulting matrix equal to the one with y and x: First, compute the product of the two matrices on the left side: \[ \begin{pmatrix} 4 & 2 \\ -2 & x \end{pmatrix} \times \begin{pmatrix} 1 & 2 \\ 0 & 1 \end{pmatrix} = \begin{pmatrix} 4(1) + 2(0) & 4(2) + 2(1) \\ -2(1) + x(0) & -2(2) + x(1) \end{pmatrix} \] \[ = \begin{pmatrix} 4 & 8 + 2 \\ -2 & -4 + x \end{pmatrix} \] \[ = \begin{pmatrix} 4 & 10 \\ -2 & x - 4 \end{pmatrix} \] Now, equate this resulting matrix to the matrix on the right side of the equation and solve for x and y: \[ \begin{pmatrix} 4 & 10 \\ -2 & x - 4 \end{pmatrix} = \begin{pmatrix} y & 10 \\ -2 & 4 \end{pmatrix} \] For the matrices to be equal, their corresponding elements must be equal, so: \[ y = 4 \quad \text{and} \quad x - 4 = 4 \] From the second equation: \[ x = 4 + 4 \] \[ x = 8 \] Therefore, the values of x and y are 8 and 4, respectively.
Solving Matrix Equation for Variables
The image shows a matrix equation that we need to solve to find the values of p and q. The matrix equation is given as: ``` [ 4/p p ] [ 7(q) 11(p) ] [-1/q -p ] = [ -3 13 ] ``` To solve for p and q, we need to equate elements in the corresponding positions from the given two matrices. That will give us a system of equations as follows: 1. (4/p) * 7(q) + p * (-3) = 11(p) 2. (-1/q) * 7(q) + (-p) * (-3) = 13 Let's solve these equations. For the first equation: (4q/p) * 7 + p * (-3) = 11p 28q/p - 3p = 11p 28q = 14p^2 q = (14p^2)/28 q = p^2/2 (1) For the second equation: ((-7) + 3p) = 13 3p - 7 = 13 3p = 20 p = 20/3 Now we can substitute the value of p into equation (1) to find q: q = (20/3)^2/2 q = 400/9 * 1/2 q = 400/18 q = 200/9 q = 22.222... Therefore, the values of p and q are: p = 20/3 q = 200/9 However, note that the way both equations are constructed implies that there is an element of matrix multiplication involved, which is not correctly represented in the image. Normally, when multiplying two matrices, the elements are multiplied and then added together according to matrix multiplication rules. The image seems to imply direct multiplication which would defy the matrix multiplication rules. But based on the provided equations and assuming they are correctly representing a matrix product, the above solution for p and q is correct.
