The question is incomplete. The complete question is as follows:
Solve for X. Assume X is a 2x2 matrix and I denotes the 2x2 identity matrix. Do not use decimal numbers in your answer. If there are fractions, leave them unevaluated.
· X·
=<em>I</em>.
First, we have to identify the matrix <em>I. </em>As it was said, the matrix is the identiy matrix, which means
<em>I</em> =
So, · X·
=
Isolating the X, we have
X·=
-
Resolving:
X·=
X·=
Now, we have a problem similar to A.X=B. To solve it and because we don't divide matrices, we do X=A⁻¹·B. In this case,
X=⁻¹·
Now, a matrix with index -1 is called Inverse Matrix and is calculated as: A . A⁻¹ = I.
So,
·
=
9a - 3b = 1
7a - 6b = 0
9c - 3d = 0
7c - 6d = 1
Resolving these equations, we have a=; b=
; c=
and d=
. Substituting:
X= ·
Multiplying the matrices, we have
X=
