    To find the inverse of the following matrix, what would be the next step you would perform? - ProProfs

    To find the inverse of the following matrix, what would be the next step you would perform?

    • R1 --> R1+ (2)R2

    • R1 --> R1/(-2)

    • R2 --> R2/(-2)

    • R1 --> R1 + 2

    Correct Answer
    A. R1 --> R1/(-2)
    Explanation
    The next step to find the inverse of the matrix would be to perform the operation R1 --> R1/(-2). This step involves dividing every element in the first row of the matrix by -2. This operation is necessary to manipulate the matrix and eventually obtain the inverse.

    Find the inverse of the following matrix if it exists. - ProProfs

    Find the inverse of the following matrix if it exists.

    • A

    • B

    • C

    • D

    • The inverse does not exist.

    Correct Answer
    A. B
    Explanation
    The given answer is correct because in order for a matrix to have an inverse, it must be a square matrix (i.e., have the same number of rows and columns) and have a non-zero determinant. However, the given matrix is not a square matrix, as it has 4 rows and 1 column. Therefore, it does not have an inverse.

    To find the inverse of the following matrix, what would be the next step you would perform? - ProProfs

    To find the inverse of the following matrix, what would be the next step you would perform?

    • R1 --> R1/(-2)

    • R2 --> (4)R2 - (9)R1

    • R2 --> R2/(-9)

    • R2 --> R2 - (2)R1

    Correct Answer
    A. R2 --> R2/(-9)
    Explanation
    The next step to find the inverse of the matrix would be to divide the second row (R2) by -9.

    Find the inverse of the following matrix if it exists. - ProProfs

    Find the inverse of the following matrix if it exists.

    • A

    • B

    • C

    • D

    • The inverse does not exist.

    Correct Answer
    A. The inverse does not exist.
    Explanation
    The given matrix is not a square matrix, which means it does not have the same number of rows and columns. In order for a matrix to have an inverse, it must be a square matrix. Since the given matrix is not a square matrix, it does not have an inverse.

    To find the inverse of the following matrix.  What would your first step be?  (Assume the inverse exists.) - ProProfs

    To find the inverse of the following matrix.  What would your first step be?  (Assume the inverse exists.)

    • R1 --> R1 + (4)R1

    • R2 --> R2/8

    • R1--> R1/-2

    • R2--> R2 +(4)R1

    Correct Answer
    A. R2--> R2 +(4)R1
    Explanation
    The given answer suggests that the first step to find the inverse of the matrix is to perform the operation R2 --> R2 +(4)R1. This means that we need to add 4 times the first row to the second row.

    Use matrices to solve the following system of equations.  -2x - 4y = 388x + 7y = -53

    • (-3, -11)

    • (8.8, 22.7)

    • (8.8, -22.7)

    • (41.56, -22.7)

    • (3, -11)

    Correct Answer
    A. (3, -11)
    Explanation
    The answer (3, -11) is obtained by solving the system of equations using matrices. By setting up the coefficient matrix and the constant matrix, we can use matrix operations to find the values of x and y that satisfy both equations simultaneously. The resulting solution is (3, -11), which means that when x is 3 and y is -11, both equations are true.

    • R1 --> R1 + (4)R2

    • R1 --> R1/(-2)

    • R1 --> R1 + (3)R2

    • R2 --> (4)R2 +R1

    Correct Answer
    A. R1 --> R1 + (4)R2
    Explanation
    The next step to find the inverse of the matrix would be to perform the row operation R1 --> R1 + (4)R2.
