Find the matrix \( X \) such that\n\n\[ {2A} + {3X} = - {4A}\text{.} \]
Solution We can use basic algebra techniques to manipulate this equation for \( X \) ; first, let’s subtract \( {2A} \) from both sides. This gives us\n\n\[ {3X} = - {6A}\text{.} \]\n\nNow divide both sides by 3 to get\n\n\[ X = - {2A}\text{.} \]\n\nNow we just need to compute \( - {2A} \) ; we find that\n\n\[ X = \lef...

Solution Let’s call our first matrix \\( A \\) and the second \\( B \\) . We should first check to see that we can actually perform this multiplication. Matrix \\( A \\) is \\( 2 \\times 2 \\) and \\( B \\) is \\( 2 \\times 3 \\) . The \

Solution Let's first check to make sure this product is defined. Again calling the first matrix \\( A \\) and the second \\( B \\), we see that \\( A \\) is a \\( 3 \\times 2 \\) matrix and \\( B \\) is a \\( 2 \\times 4 \\) matrix; the inner dimensions match so the product is defined, and the product will be a \\( 3 \...

Solution Again, we’ll call the first matrix \( A \) and the second \( B \) . Checking the dimensions of each matrix, we see that \( A \) is a \( 2 \times 3 \) matrix, whereas \( B \) is a \( 2 \times 2 \) matrix. The inner dimensions do not match, therefore this multiplication is not defined.

Solution Again, we need to check to make sure the dimensions work correctly (remember that even though we are referring to \( \overrightarrow{u} \) and \( \overrightarrow{x} \) as vectors, they are, in fact, just matrices). The column vector \( \overrightarrow{x} \) has dimensions \( 3 \times 1 \), whereas the row vect...
