INVERSE METHOD 3X3 MATRIX

In this page inverse method 3x3 matrix we are going to see how to solve the given linear equation using inversion method.

Formula:

This is the formula that we are going to use to solve any linear equations.

   X = A-1 B

Example 1 :

Solve the following linear equation by inversion method

2x - y + 3z = 9

x + y + z = 6

x - y + z = 2

Solution :

First we have to write the given equation in the form AX = B. Here X represents the unknown variables. A represent coefficient of the variables and B represents constants.inverse method 3x3 matrix

  = 2 [2] + 1 [0] + 3 [-2]

  = 4 + 0 -6

  = - 2 ≠ 0

Since A is a non singular matrix. A-1 exists.

So, the solutions are x = 1, y = 2 and z = 3

Practice Questions :

1) Solve the following homogeneous system of linear equations using inversion method

2x + y + z = 5

x + y + z = 4

x - y + 2z = 1

2) Solve the following homogeneous system of linear equations using inversion method

x + 2y + z = 7

2x - y + 2z = 4

x + y - 2z = -1

3) Solve the following homogeneous system of linear equations using inversion method

x + y + z = 4

x - y + z = 2

2x + y - z = 1

4) Solve the following homogeneous system of linear equations using inversion method

2x + 5y + 7z = 52
