Exercises \(85-87\) will help you prepare for the material covered in the next section. Multiply and write the linear system represented by the following matrix multiplication: $$\left[\begin{array}{lll}a_{1} & b_{1} & c_{1} \\\a_{2} & b_{2} & c_{2} \\\a_{3} & b_{3} & c_{3}\end{array}\right]\left[\begin{array}{l}x \\\y \\\z\end{array}\right]=\left[\begin{array}{l} d_{1} \\\d_{2} \\\d_{3}\end{array}\right]$$
Use a graphing utility to find the multiplicative inverse of each matrix. Check that the displayed inverse is correct. $$\left[\begin{array}{rrr}-2 & 1 & -1 \\\\-5 & 2 & -1 \\\3 & -1 & 1\end{array}\right]$$
Exercises \(77-79\) will help you prepare for the material covered in the first section of the next chapter. Consider the equation \(\frac{x^{2}}{9}+\frac{y^{2}}{4}-1\) a. Set \(y-0\) and find the \(x\) -intercepts. b. Set \(x-0\) and find the \(y\) -intercepts.
Use a graphing utility to find the multiplicative inverse of each matrix. Check that the displayed inverse is correct. $$\left[\begin{array}{llll}1 & 2 & 0 & 0 \\\0 & 0 & 1 & 0 \\\1 & 3 & 0 & 1 \\\4 & 0 & 0 & 2 \end{array}\right]$$
