Question
Given $A=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1 & -1 & 1 \\ 1 & -2 & -2 \\ 2 & 1 & 3\end{array}\right]$ and $B=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}-4 & 4 & 4 \\ -7 & 1 & 3 \\ 5 & -3 & -1\end{array}\right]$ find $AB$ and use this result in solving the following system of equations.
$x - y + z =4$
$x - 2y - 2z = 9$
$2x + y + 3z = 1$

Answer

$x-y+z=4$
$x-2 y-2 z=9$
$2 x+y+3 z=1$
$\text { Let } A=\left[\begin{array}{ccc} 1 & -1 & 1 \\ 1 & -2 & -2 \\ 2 & 1 & 3\end{array}\right] $
$ X=\left[\begin{array}{l} x \\ y \\ z \end{array}\right] C=\left[\begin{array}{l} 4 \\9 \\ 1\end{array}\right]$
Then, given system of equations can be rewritten as,
$AX=C$
Now, $A B=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1 & -1 & 1 \\ 1 & -2 & -2 \\ 2 & 1 & 3\end{array}\right]\left[\begin{array}{ccc}-4 & 4 & 4 \\ -7 & 1 & 3 \\ 5 & -3 & -1\end{array}\right]$
$ =\left[\begin{array}{lll} 8 & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & 8 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & 8 \end{array}\right] $
$AB=8 I \\ A^{-1}=\frac{1}{8} B\left[\begin{array}{c} \because A^{-1} A B=8 A^{-1} I \\ B=8 A^{-1}\end{array}\right] $
$\Rightarrow A^{-1}=\frac{1}{8}$
$\frac{-1}{2} \frac{1}{2} \frac{1}{2}$
$\frac{-7}{8} \frac{1}{8} \frac{3}{8}$
$\frac{5}{8} \frac{-3}{8} \frac{-1}{8}$
Now, $AX = C$,
$\Rightarrow X=A^{-1} C \\ \Rightarrow\left[\begin{array}{c} x \\ y \\ z \end{array}\right]$
$=\frac{-1}{2} \frac{1}{2} \frac{1}{2}$
$\frac{-7}{8} \frac{1}{8} \frac{3}{8}$
$\frac{5}{8} \frac{-3}{8} \frac{-1}{8} ]$
$=\left[\begin{array}{l} 4 \\9 \\1 \end{array}\right] $
$\frac{-4}{2}+\frac{9}{2}+\frac{1}{2}$
$\frac{-28}{8}+\frac{9}{8}+\frac{3}{8}$
$\frac{20}{8}+\frac{-27}{8}+\frac{-1}{8}$
$=\left[\begin{array}{c} 3 \\ -2 \\ -1 \end{array}\right]$
$\Rightarrow x=3, y=-2, z=-1$
