Find the matrix A satisfying the matrix equation:
The given matrix equation is,
We need to find matrix A.
Let matrix A be of order 2 × 2, and can be represented as
Then, we have
If A and B are two given matrices and we have to multiply them, then the number of columns in matrix A should be equal to the number of rows in matrix B. Thus, if A is an m x n matrix and B is an r x s matrix, n = r.
Multiply 1st row of matrix X by matching members of 1st column of matrix Y, then finally end by summing them up.
Multiply 1st row of matrix X by matching members of 2nd column of matrix Y, then finally end by summing them up.
Multiply 2nd row of matrix X by matching members of 1st column of matrix Y, then finally end by summing them up.
Multiply 2nd row of matrix X by matching members of 2nd column of matrix Y, then finally end by summing them up.
Let X.Y = Z
Now, we need to find
Where, let
Multiply 1st row of matrix Z by matching members of 1st column of matrix Q, then finally end by summing them up.
Multiply 1st row of matrix Z by matching members of 2nd column of matrix Q, then finally end by summing them up.
Multiply 2nd row of matrix Z by matching members of 1st column of matrix Q, then finally end by summing them up.
Multiply 2nd row of matrix Z by matching members of 2nd column of matrix Q, then finally end by summing them up.
So, we have
Now, for L . H . S=R . H . S
If the matrices have the same order then we can write them as,
We have to find four variables: a, b, c, d and four equations
So, on adding equations (i) and (iv), we get
Now, adding equations (ii) and (iii), we get
By adding equations (iv) and (vi), we get
Substituting the value of d from equation (vii) in (v), we get
Now, by substituting values of a and d from equations (vii) and (viii) in equation (iii), we get
Also, substituting values of a and d from equations (vii) and (viii) in equation (ii), we get
On multiplication of equation (ix) by 5 and equation (x) by 13, we get
By subtracting equations (xi) and (xii), we get
By substituting b = 1 in equation (x), we get
By substituting b = 1 and c = 1 in equation (viii), we get
By substituting a = 1 in equation (vii), we get
Thus, the matrix A is
