(B)
Explanation:
We have:
# 16x + 5y = 211 #
# 16x + y = 183 #
Which we can write in vector matrix form:
# ( (16,5), (16,1) ) ( (x), (y) ) = ( (211), (183) ) #
So, pre-multiplying by the inverse matrix we have:
# ( (16,5), (16,1) )^(-1)( (16,5), (16,1) ) ( (x), (y) ) = ( (16,5), (16,1) )^(-1)( (211), (183) ) #
# :. ( (x), (y) ) = ( (16,5), (16,1) )^(-1)( (211), (183) ) #
Or:
# bb(A) bb(ul x) = bb(ul b) => bb(ul x) = bb(A)^(-1) bb(ul b) #
Where
# bb(A) = ( (16,5), (16,1) ) # ;# bb(ul x) = ( (x), (y) ) # ;# bb(ul b) ( (211), (183) ) #
We can find
A matrix,
- Calculating the Matrix of Minors,
- Form the Matrix of Cofactors,
#cof(bb(A))# - Form the adjoint matrix,
#adj(bb(A))# - Multiply
#adj(bb(A))# by#1/abs(bb(A))# to form the inverse#bb(A)^-1#
At some point we need to calculate
# bb(A) = ( (16,5), (16,1)) #
If we expand about the first row;
# abs(bb(A)) = (15)(1) - (16)(5) #
# \ \ \ \ \ = 16-80 #
# \ \ \ \ \ = -64 #
As
#"minors"(bb(A)) = ( (1, 16), (5, 16 ))#
We now form the matrix of cofactors,
# ( (+, -), (-, +) )#
Where we change the sign of those elements with the minus sign to get;
# cof(bbA) = ( (1, -16), (-5, 16 )) #
Then we form the adjoint matrix by transposing the matrix of cofactors,
#adj(A) = cof(A)^T#
#\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ = ( (1, -16), (-5, 16 ))^T #
#\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ = ( (1, -5), (-16, 16 )) #
And then finally we multiply by the reciprocal of the determinant to get:
#bb(A)^-1 = 1/abs(bb A) adj(bb A)#
#\ \ \ \ \ \ \ = 1/(-64) ( (1, -5), (-16, 16 )) #
So then we get the solution the linear equations as:
# bb(ul x) = bb(A)^(-1) bb(ul b) # .....#[star]#
# :. ( (x), (y) ) = 1/(-64)( (1, -5), (-16, 16 )) ( (211), (183) ) #
# \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ = -1/64( ((1)(211)+(-5)(183) ), ((-16)(211)+(16)(183) ) ) #
# \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ = -1/64( (-704), (-448) ) #
# \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ = ( (11), (7) ) #
Hence the solution equation is:
# ( (x), (y) ) = ( (16,5), (16,1) )^(-1)( (211), (183) ) = ( (11), (7) )#
