Question 6:
It is given that matrix P=(6352) and matrix Q=1m(235n) such that PQ=(1001).It is given that matrix P=(6352) and matrix Q=1m(235n) such that PQ=(1001).
(a) Find the value of m and of n.
(b) Write the following simultaneous linear equations as matrix form:
6x – 3y = –24
–5x + 2y = 18
Hence, using matrix method, calculate the value of x and y.

Solution:
(a)m=6(2)(3)(5)  =1215m=3n=6(a)m=6(2)(3)(5)  =1215m=3n=6

(b)(6352)(xy)=(2418)  (xy)=11215(2356)(2418)  (xy)=13((2)(24)+(3)(18)(5)(24)+(6)(18))  (xy)=13(612)  (xy)=(24)x=2,  y=4(b)(6352)(xy)=(2418)  (xy)=11215(2356)(2418)  (xy)=13((2)(24)+(3)(18)(5)(24)+(6)(18))  (xy)=13(612)  (xy)=(24)x=2,  y=4


Question 7:
(a) Find the inverse matrix of (3254).(a) Find the inverse matrix of (3254).
(b) Ethan and Rahman went to the supermarket to buy cucumbers and carrots. Ethan bought 3 cucumbers and 2 carrots for RM9. Rahman bought 5 cucumbers and 4 carrots for RM16.
By using matrix method, find the price, in RM, of a cucumber and the price of a carrot. 
Solution:
(a)Inverse matrix of (3254)=11210(4253)=12(4253)=(215232)(a)Inverse matrix of (3254)=11210(4253)=12(4253)=(215232)

(b)3x+2y=9……………..(1)5x+4y=16……………(2)(3254)(xy)=(916)  (xy)=(215232)(916)  (xy)=((2)(9)+(1)(16)(52)(9)+(32)(16))  (xy)=(1816452+24)  (xy)=(232)x=2,  y=32Price of a cucumber=RM2   Price of a carrot=RM1.50
