and find the value of xyzuvw

Open in App
Solution

We have
111257211xuyvzw=92521501
or AX=BorX=A1B...(1)
Where
A=111257211, X=xuyvzw and B=92521501
|A|=1(57)1(214)+1(210)=12+168=40
Let C be the matrix of cofactors of elements of |A|
C=C11C12C13C21C22C23C31C32C33
=⎢ ⎢ ⎢ ⎢ ⎢ ⎢ ⎢ ⎢571127212521111111211121115711271125⎥ ⎥ ⎥ ⎥ ⎥ ⎥ ⎥ ⎥=12168231253
Adj A=C=12221635813
A1=Adj.fat A|A|=1412221635813
Now, A1B=1412221635813×92521501=1444128204
=113251
From (1)
X=A1B
xuyvzw=113251
On equating the corresponding elements, we have
x=1,u=1y=3,v=2z=5,w=1
