972 CHAPTER 9 Systems and Matrices (b) The coefficient matrix A for this system is A = £ 1 2 3 0 -2 0 1 -1 0§, and its inverse A-1 was found in Example 2. Let X = £ x y z§ and B = £ -1 5 6§. Because X = A-1B, we have £x y z§ = D 0 - 1 2 1 0 - 1 2 0 1 3 1 2 - 1 3T£ -1 5 6§ (11111111)11111111* A-1 from Example 2 = £ 2 1 -3§. The solution set is 512, 1, -326. (b) Figure 31 shows the coefficient matrix 3A4 and the column matrix of constants 3B4. Be sure to enter the product of 3A4-1 and 3B4 in the correct order. Remember that matrix multiplication is not commutative. Figure 31 S Now Try Exercises 35 and 49. 9.8 Exercises CONCEPT PREVIEW Answer each question. 1.
