Determine whether each statement makes sense or does not make sense, and explain your reasoning. Matrix row operations remind me of what I did when solving a linear system by the addition method, although I no longer write the variables.
Let $$ A=\left[\begin{array}{rr} {-3} & {-7} \\ {2} & {-9} \\ {5} & {0} \end{array}\right] \text { and } B=\left[\begin{array}{rr} {-5} & {-1} \\ {0} & {0} \\ {3} & {-4} \end{array}\right] $$ Solve each matrix equation for X. $$ X-B=A $$
Consider a square matrix such that each element that is not on the diagonal from upper left to lower right is zero. Experiment with such matrices (call each matrix \(A\) ) by finding \(A A .\) Then write a sentence or two describing a method for multiplying this kind of matrix by itself.
Let $$ A=\left[\begin{array}{rr} {-3} & {-7} \\ {2} & {-9} \\ {5} & {0} \end{array}\right] \text { and } B=\left[\begin{array}{rr} {-5} & {-1} \\ {0} & {0} \\ {3} & {-4} \end{array}\right] $$ Solve each matrix equation for X. $$ 4 B+3 A=-2 X $$
