Two matrix problems |
2005-03-30 |
|
Sue pose la question : Question 1
Suppose all matrices in the equation below are square and invertible. Solve for x .
BA-1XB-1 + 2BA + In = 0 (the symbol "0" here denotes the matrix of all 0's in it)
Also, A-1 or B-1 is indicating inverse and "In" = for example, A-1 times A
I hope you understand the above. I have to show all the steps.
Question 2
Suppose we consider the set of all 2x2 matrices along with the operations of matrix addition and multiplication. Do they form a field? Why or why not?
I think the answer is no because under multiplication it is not commutative and not all square matrices are invertible. I not positive so I'd like some help. Penny Nom lui répond. |
