    Inverse Matrices
AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around difficulties with inverse matrices and their multiplication with an identity matrix. The user has attempted to find the inverse of a given matrix but is struggling to make sense of the results. They suggest that performing row operations to achieve an identity format for the first five columns may clarify the situation. There is uncertainty about whether the goal is to find the norm of specific columns, indicating a lack of clarity in the original question. Direct calculations and using a semi-identity matrix are recommended to simplify the process.

I think it may have to do with inverse matrices or multiplication using the identity matrix

The Attempt at a Solution



I got the inverse of...

1,-2, 2, 2,-3
3,-5, 6, 2,-4
2,-2, 5,-4, 4
1,-3, 1, 7,-8
3,-4, 7, 0, 2

as...

-6,-14,25,20,-7
2,-13,19,14,-5
4, -2, 1, 0, 0
0, -1, 1, 1, 0
-1, 2 ,-3,-2, 1

and I premultiplied that to...

87, 57, 10,117,-101
208,232,133,330,-146
83,297,235,229, 116
154,-58,-97,112,-245
240,382,278,370, 092

But nothing really seems to make sense. Thanks if you can help!

It looks to me like it's one big giant matrix and you'd have to do the row operations to get the first 5 columns in the identity format and see what that does to the last 5 columns.
Are you looking for the norm of columns 6-10? The question isn't entirely clear to me.

Yes, you have to do raw, direct calculations. But the semi-identity matrix will make it easier
 

Thread 'Family of lines that are at a distance of 5 from the origin'

I picked up this problem from the Schaum's series book titled "College Mathematics" by Ayres/Schmidt. It is a solved problem in the book. But what surprised me was that the solution to this problem was given in one line without any explanation. I could, therefore, not understand how the given one-line solution was reached. The one-line solution in the book says: The equation is ##x \cos{\omega} +y \sin{\omega} - 5 = 0##, ##\omega## being the parameter. From my side, the only thing I could...

Thread 'Making the denominator of a certain fraction real'

Essentially I just have this problem that I'm stuck on, on a sheet about complex numbers: Show that, for ##|r|<1,## $$1+r\cos(x)+r^2\cos(2x)+r^3\cos(3x)...=\frac{1-r\cos(x)}{1-2r\cos(x)+r^2}$$ My first thought was to express it as a geometric series, where the real part of the sum of the series would be the series you see above: $$1+re^{ix}+r^2e^{2ix}+r^3e^{3ix}...$$ The sum of this series is just: $$\frac{(re^{ix})^n-1}{re^{ix} - 1}$$ I'm having some trouble trying to figure out what to...
