Determine if Linear
Problem
Solution
Identify the matrix equation components. Let
A=[[1,0],[0,1]] B=[[1,0],[0,0]] andC=[[3,0],[0,2]] The equation isA*y*B=C Simplify the left side. Since
A is the identity matrixI the equation reduces toy*B=C Define the unknown matrix
y Lety=[[a,b],[c,d]] Perform the matrix multiplication
y*B
Compare the result to matrix
C
Analyze the equality of the elements. For the matrices to be equal, the element in the second row, second column must match. However,
0≠2 Conclude based on the contradiction. Since
0 = 2i*s(i)*m*p*o*s(s(i))*b*l*e,t*h*e*r*e*i*s(n)*o*m*a*t*r*i*x $ that satisfies the equation. The system is inconsistent.
