How to do the inverse of a 3x3 matrix gaussian elimination.

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}

Find the area of the circle.. PLEASE HELP
Leno4ka [110]

Answer:

The area is 154 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the formula for the area of a circle is pi times the radius squared, divide the diameter in half to get the radius (7). Then, square the radius (49). Next, multiply that by pi (153.938). After that round to the nearest whole number (154). Hope that helps!

Ugo [173]
Let be x the number of rows
there are 1200 seats, and each row has 20seats
so 20x=1200, so x= 60, there are 60 rows in the theater
