2. Find the inverse of the matrix \(\left( {\begin{aligned}{*{20}{c}}{\bf{3}}&{\bf{2}}\\{\bf{7}}&{\bf{4}}\end{aligned}} \right)\).
Let \(A = \left( {\begin{aligned}{*{20}{c}}{\bf{2}}&{ - {\bf{3}}}\\{ - {\bf{4}}}&{\bf{6}}\end{aligned}} \right)\) and \(B = \left( {\begin{aligned}{*{20}{c}}{\bf{8}}&{\bf{4}}\\{\bf{5}}&{\bf{5}}\end{aligned}} \right)\) and \(C = \left( {\begin{aligned}{*{20}{c}}{\bf{5}}&{ - {\bf{2}}}\\{\bf{3}}&{\bf{1}}\end{aligned}} \right)\). Verfiy that \(AB = AC\) and yet \(B \ne C\).
Suppose \(CA = {I_n}\)(the \(n \times n\) identity matrix). Show that the equation \(Ax = 0\) has only the trivial solution. Explain why Acannot have more columns than rows.
Let Ube the \({\bf{3}} \times {\bf{2}}\) cost matrix described in Example 6 of Section 1.8. The first column of Ulists the costs per dollar of output for manufacturing product B, and the second column lists the costs per dollar of output for product C. (The costs are categorized as materials, labor, and overhead.) Let \({q_1}\) be a vector in \({\mathbb{R}^{\bf{2}}}\) that lists the output (measured in dollars) of products B and C manufactured during the first quarter of the year, and let \({q_{\bf{2}}}\), \({q_{\bf{3}}}\) and \({q_{\bf{4}}}\) be the analogous vectors that list the amounts of products B and C manufactured in the second, third, and fourth quarters, respectively. Give an economic description of the data in the matrix UQ, where \(Q = \left( {\begin{aligned}{*{20}{c}}{{{\bf{q}}_1}}&{{{\bf{q}}_2}}&{{{\bf{q}}_3}}&{{{\bf{q}}_4}}\end{aligned}} \right)\).
The inverse of \(\left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}I&{\bf{0}}&{\bf{0}}\\C&I&{\bf{0}}\\A&B&I\end{array}} \right]\) is \(\left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}I&{\bf{0}}&{\bf{0}}\\Z&I&{\bf{0}}\\X&Y&I\end{array}} \right]\). Find X, Y, and Z.
