Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
With a negative fractional exponent place a 1 over the positive value
rewrite 8 as
apply the power rule and multiply the exponents.
cancel the common factor of 3
rewrite the expression
raise 2 to the power of 4 which =16
so the answer is
As an example, let's invert the matrix
We construct the augmented matrix,
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
• 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)
• 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)
• Multiply row 3 by 1/3 :
• 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)
• Multiply row 2 by 1/7 :
• 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)
• Multiply row 1 by -1/3 :
So, the inverse of our matrix is
