Answer:
1. The matrix A isn't the inverse of matrix B.
2. |B|=12, |A|=12
Step-by-step explanation:
1. We want to know if matrix A is the inverse of matrix B, this means that if you do the product between B and A you have to obtain the identity matrix.
We have:
![A=\left[\begin{array}{cc}4&-2\\-1&3\end{array}\right]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=A%3D%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bcc%7D4%26-2%5C%5C-1%263%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D)
and
![B=\left[\begin{array}{cc}3&2\\1&4\end{array}\right]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=B%3D%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bcc%7D3%262%5C%5C1%264%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D)
A and B are 2×2 matrices (2 rows and 2 columns), if you multiply them you have to obtain a 2×2 matrix.
Then if A is the inverse of B:
Where,
![I=\left[\begin{array}{cc}1&0\\0&1\end{array}\right]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=I%3D%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bcc%7D1%260%5C%5C0%261%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D)
Observation:
If you have two matrices:
![A=\left[\begin{array}{cc}a&b\\c&d\end{array}\right]\\and\\B=\left[\begin{array}{cc}e&f\\g&h\end{array}\right]\\\\\\A.B=\left[\begin{array}{cc}(a.e+b.g)&(a.f+b.h)\\(c.e+d.g)&(c.f+d.h)\end{array}\right]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=A%3D%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bcc%7Da%26b%5C%5Cc%26d%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D%5C%5Cand%5C%5CB%3D%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bcc%7De%26f%5C%5Cg%26h%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D%5C%5C%5C%5C%5C%5CA.B%3D%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bcc%7D%28a.e%2Bb.g%29%26%28a.f%2Bb.h%29%5C%5C%28c.e%2Bd.g%29%26%28c.f%2Bd.h%29%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D)
Now:
![B.A=\left[\begin{array}{cc}3&2\\1&4\end{array}\right].\left[\begin{array}{cc}4&-2\\-1&3\end{array}\right]\\\\\\B.A=\left[\begin{array}{cc}4.3+(-2).1&4.2+(-2).4\\(-1).3+3.1&(-1).2+3.4\end{array}\right]\\\\\\B.A=\left[\begin{array}{cc}12-2&8-8\\-3+3&-2+12\end{array}\right]\\\\\\B.A=\left[\begin{array}{cc}10&0\\0&10\end{array}\right]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=B.A%3D%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bcc%7D3%262%5C%5C1%264%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D.%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bcc%7D4%26-2%5C%5C-1%263%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D%5C%5C%5C%5C%5C%5CB.A%3D%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bcc%7D4.3%2B%28-2%29.1%264.2%2B%28-2%29.4%5C%5C%28-1%29.3%2B3.1%26%28-1%29.2%2B3.4%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D%5C%5C%5C%5C%5C%5CB.A%3D%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bcc%7D12-2%268-8%5C%5C-3%2B3%26-2%2B12%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D%5C%5C%5C%5C%5C%5CB.A%3D%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bcc%7D10%260%5C%5C0%2610%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D)
![B.A=\left[\begin{array}{cc}10&0\\0&10\end{array}\right]\neq \left[\begin{array}{cc}1&0\\0&1\end{array}\right]=I\\\\\\B.A\neq I](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=B.A%3D%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bcc%7D10%260%5C%5C0%2610%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D%5Cneq%20%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bcc%7D1%260%5C%5C0%261%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D%3DI%5C%5C%5C%5C%5C%5CB.A%5Cneq%20I)
Then, the matrix A isn't the inverse of matrix B.
2. If you have a matrix A:
![A=\left[\begin{array}{cc}a&b\\c&d\end{array}\right]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=A%3D%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bcc%7Da%26b%5C%5Cc%26d%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D)
The determinant of the matrix is:
Then the determinant of B is:
The determinant of A is:
Let 
be the cost, respectively, of a notebook and a pen. If you buy 2 notebooks and 3 pens (which we know is a cost of $14.50), you spend 
Similarly, if you buy 1 notebook and 2 pens (which we know is a cost of $7.50), you spend 
These two equations form the following system:
Multiply the second equation by 2:
Subtract the first equation from the second:
So, a pen costs 0.5 dollars. Plug this equation in the second equation:
Step-by-step explanation:
7 + x/3 =2x - 5
7 + 5=2x - x/3
12 = 5x/3
cross multiply
36=5x
x=36/5
x=7.2
<span>First figure out how
many people there are all together. So mrs and mr is 2 there three
children so 2+3=5 so next round 179 to 200 and multiply 200x5. To do
that you can use the mental math way witch would be to take the whole
number out of 200 and make it 2. Then take the 5 in 200x5 and multiply
2x5. Then add the 2 zeros there were. And your estamated answer would be
1,000.
2+3=5
179=200
200x5
2x5=10
1,000
To figure out your real answer you will have to take 179 and multiply it by 5 so it will look like this:
34
179
x
5
895
Soto conculde the answer would be:
Estamated: $1,000
Exact: $895
Hope this helps!</span>
