How to do the inverse of a 3x3 matrix gaussian elimination.
nata0808 [166]

As an example, let's invert the matrix

\begin{bmatrix}-3&2&1\\2&1&1\\1&1&1\end{bmatrix}

We construct the augmented matrix,

\left[ \begin{array}{ccc|ccc} -3 & 2 & 1 & 1 & 0 & 0 \\ 2 & 1 & 1 & 0 & 1 & 0 \\ 1 & 1 & 1 & 0 & 0 & 1 \end{array} \right]

On this augmented matrix, we perform row operations in such a way as to transform the matrix on the left side into the identity matrix, and the matrix on the right will be the inverse that we want to find.

Now we can carry out Gaussian elimination.

• Eliminate the column 1 entry in row 2.

Combine 2 times row 1 with 3 times row 2 :

2 (-3, 2, 1, 1, 0, 0) + 3 (2, 1, 1, 0, 1, 0)

= (-6, 4, 2, 2, 0, 0) + (6, 3, 3, 0, 3, 0)

= (0, 7, 5, 2, 3, 0)

which changes the augmented matrix to

\left[ \begin{array}{ccc|ccc} -3 & 2 & 1 & 1 & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & 7 & 5 & 2 & 3 & 0 \\ 1 & 1 & 1 & 0 & 0 & 1 \end{array} \right]

• Eliminate the column 1 entry in row 3.

Using the new aug. matrix, combine row 1 and 3 times row 3 :

(-3, 2, 1, 1, 0, 0) + 3 (1, 1, 1, 0, 0, 1)

= (-3, 2, 1, 1, 0, 0) + (3, 3, 3, 0, 0, 3)

= (0, 5, 4, 1, 0, 3)

\left[ \begin{array}{ccc|ccc} -3 & 2 & 1 & 1 & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & 7 & 5 & 2 & 3 & 0 \\ 0 & 5 & 4 & 1 & 0 & 3 \end{array} \right]

• Eliminate the column 2 entry in row 3.

Combine -5 times row 2 and 7 times row 3 :

-5 (0, 7, 5, 2, 3, 0) + 7 (0, 5, 4, 1, 0, 3)

= (0, -35, -25, -10, -15, 0) + (0, 35, 28, 7, 0, 21)

= (0, 0, 3, -3, -15, 21)

\left[ \begin{array}{ccc|ccc} -3 & 2 & 1 & 1 & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & 7 & 5 & 2 & 3 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & 3 & -3 & -15 & 21 \end{array} \right]

• Multiply row 3 by 1/3 :

\left[ \begin{array}{ccc|ccc} -3 & 2 & 1 & 1 & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & 7 & 5 & 2 & 3 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & 1 & -1 & -5 & 7 \end{array} \right]

• Eliminate the column 3 entry in row 2.

Combine row 2 and -5 times row 3 :

(0, 7, 5, 2, 3, 0) - 5 (0, 0, 1, -1, -5, 7)

= (0, 7, 5, 2, 3, 0) + (0, 0, -5, 5, 25, -35)

= (0, 7, 0, 7, 28, -35)

\left[ \begin{array}{ccc|ccc} -3 & 2 & 1 & 1 & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & 7 & 0 & 7 & 28 & -35 \\ 0 & 0 & 1 & -1 & -5 & 7 \end{array} \right]

• Multiply row 2 by 1/7 :

\left[ \begin{array}{ccc|ccc} -3 & 2 & 1 & 1 & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & 1 & 0 & 1 & 4 & -5 \\ 0 & 0 & 1 & -1 & -5 & 7 \end{array} \right]

• Eliminate the column 2 and 3 entries in row 1.

Combine row 1, -2 times row 2, and -1 times row 3 :

(-3, 2, 1, 1, 0, 0) - 2 (0, 1, 0, 1, 4, -5) - (0, 0, 1, -1, -5, 7)

= (-3, 2, 1, 1, 0, 0) + (0, -2, 0, -2, -8, 10) + (0, 0, -1, 1, 5, -7)

= (-3, 0, 0, 0, -3, 3)

\left[ \begin{array}{ccc|ccc} -3 & 0 & 0 & 0 & -3 & 3 \\ 0 & 1 & 0 & 1 & 4 & -5 \\ 0 & 0 & 1 & -1 & -5 & 7 \end{array} \right]

• Multiply row 1 by -1/3 :

\left[ \begin{array}{ccc|ccc} 1 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 1 & -1 \\ 0 & 1 & 0 & 1 & 4 & -5 \\ 0 & 0 & 1 & -1 & -5 & 7 \end{array} \right]

So, the inverse of our matrix is

\begin{bmatrix}-3&2&1\\2&1&1\\1&1&1\end{bmatrix}^{-1} = \begin{bmatrix}0&1&-1\\1&4&-5\\-1&-5&7\end{bmatrix}

\text{State Income Tax Rate: }6.65\%, \\\text{Deduction: }\$7,702.03

Answer:

State income tax: 6.65\%

Step-by-step explanation:

Based on the interface, it seems like you have chosen lawyer as a career with the given salary of $115,820.

The chart given for state income tax is broken into two categories:

$21,400-$80,650 => 6.45%

$80,651-$215,400 => 6.65%

Since the chosen career's salary is $115,820, the career falls into the second range of 6.65% state income tax.

The deduction is simply the amount of money taxed. For a 6.65% state income tax, the deduction can be found from:

115,820\cdot 0.0665=\boxed{\$7,702.03}

Boris choos three diffrent numbers.the sum of the three numbers is 36.One of trh numbers is a cube number.the other two number a
inna [77]

Answer:

4,5,27

Problem:

Boris chose three different numbers.

The sum of the three numbers is 36.

One of the numbers is a perfect cube.

The other two numbers are factors of 20.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's pretend those numbers are:

a,b, \text{ and } c.

We are given the sum is 36: a+b+c=36.

One of our numbers is a perfect cube. a=n^3 where n is an integer.

The other two numbers are factors of 20. bk=20 and ci=20 where a,c,i, \text{ and } k \text{ are integers}.

n^3+\frac{20}{k}+\frac{20}{i}=36

From here I would just try to find numbers that satisfy the conditions using trial and error.

3^3+\frac{20}{2}+\frac{20}{2}

27+10+10

47

3^3+\frac{20}{4}+\frac{20}{5}

27+5+4

36

So I have found a triple that works:

27,5,4

The numbers in ascending order is:

4,5,27

Which is the correct way to evaluate f(15) for the function f(x)=2(x+3)?
Thepotemich [5.8K]

Answer:

the first option

Step-by-step explanation:

Start by substituting 15 for x. Then, simplify to get f(15)=36.

cuz

f(x)=2(x+3)

f(15)=2(15+3)

= 2×18=36

3x - 4y = -16<br> 2x - 4y = -8<br> what is x and y
FinnZ [79.3K]

Answer:

x = -8 , y = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve the following system:

{3 x - 4 y = -16 | (equation 1)

2 x - 4 y = -8 | (equation 2)

Subtract 2/3 × (equation 1) from equation 2:

{3 x - 4 y = -16 | (equation 1)

0 x - (4 y)/3 = 8/3 | (equation 2)

Multiply equation 2 by 3/4:

{3 x - 4 y = -16 | (equation 1)

0 x - y = 2 | (equation 2)

Multiply equation 2 by -1:

{3 x - 4 y = -16 | (equation 1)

0 x+y = -2 | (equation 2)

Add 4 × (equation 2) to equation 1:

{3 x+0 y = -24 | (equation 1)

0 x+y = -2 | (equation 2)

Divide equation 1 by 3:

{x+0 y = -8 | (equation 1)

0 x+y = -2 | (equation 2)

Collect results:

Answer: {x = -8 , y = -2
