If A=⎡⎢⎣22−4−42−42−15⎤⎥⎦ and B=⎡⎢⎣1−10234012⎤⎥⎦, then find BA and use this to solve the system of equations y + 2z = 7, x - y = 3 and 2x + 3y + 4z = 17.
We have, A=⎡⎢⎣22−4−42−42−15⎤⎥⎦ and B=⎡⎢⎣1−10234012⎤⎥⎦
∴BA=⎡⎢⎣1−10234012⎤⎥⎦⎡⎢⎣22−4−42−42−15⎤⎥⎦=⎡⎢⎣600060006⎤⎥⎦=6I
∴B−1=A6=16A=16⎡⎢⎣22−4−42−42−15⎤⎥⎦ .....(i)
Also, x - y = 3, 2x+3y+ 4z = 17 and y + 2z = 7
⇒⎡⎢⎣1−10234012⎤⎥⎦⎡⎢⎣xyz⎤⎥⎦=⎡⎢⎣3177⎤⎥⎦
∴⎡⎢⎣xyz⎤⎥⎦=⎡⎢⎣1−10234012⎤⎥⎦−1⎡⎢⎣3177⎤⎥⎦=16⎡⎢⎣22−4−42−42−15⎤⎥⎦⎡⎢⎣3177⎤⎥⎦ [using Eq. (i)]
=16⎡⎢⎣6+34−28−12+34−286−17+35⎤⎥⎦=16⎡⎢⎣12−624⎤⎥⎦=⎡⎢⎣2−14⎤⎥⎦
∴ x = 2, y = -1 and z = 4
