## anonymous one year ago Need genius math people's help !!!!! There are two matrices A and B. A = 4 -6 B= 5 1 4 -2 -1 -3 I want to find a matrix D which satisfies A+B+D=I and I got below the answer but it said still wrong. -8 5 -3 6 Please help me people !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

1. sdfgsdfgs

I= 1 1 1 1 right? if so, then -8 and 6 are right, re-calculate the other two.

2. anonymous

Isn't I = 1 0 0 1 ???

3. UsukiDoll

yes a 2 x 2 identity matrix is 1 0 0 1

4. UsukiDoll

hmmm latex for matrices is nasty.. so we have this equation A+B+D=I where A and B matrices are given. so we need to find Matrix D

5. sdfgsdfgs

@taejunlee sorry u are right of cuz...been a while since i looked at matrix. so ur ans should be right then. may be someone else can help u. good luck! :)

6. UsukiDoll

what if we rearrange this equation for a bit D =I-A-B like that and then use matrix addition and matrix subtraction ?

7. UsukiDoll

|dw:1437187726707:dw|

8. UsukiDoll

now use matrix subtraction. @taejunlee

9. UsukiDoll

blah...... we can start with the first two matrices and then that result - matrix B

11. anonymous

so isn't answer -8 6 -2 6 ???

12. UsukiDoll

well let's check first... could you do the matrix in black (the one I drew) ?

13. anonymous

that is -3 6 -4 3

14. UsukiDoll

excellent now we just need to do matrix subtraction with matrix b hold on a sec .. need to draw

16. anonymous

and -8 5 -3 6....

17. UsukiDoll

which is the matrix you got in the first place... it should be right then. Why is it wrong?

18. anonymous

well.. that was what I thought.. I better ask professor ..

19. UsukiDoll

|dw:1437188557694:dw|

20. UsukiDoll

that should end up to 1 0 0 1

21. UsukiDoll

you got the right matrix. It must be some bug in the online homework or the professor's stupidity or something

24. anonymous

guess there is something wrong with online system.. anyways I really appreciate what you've done for me :)

25. UsukiDoll

hahah no problem :)

26. sdfgsdfgs

@taejunlee only thing i can think of is check the + signs in ur eqn n see if one may be a - instead.

27. UsukiDoll

@sdfgsdfgs he got the right matrix, so it wasn't the equation. It's some bug in his online stuff.

28. sdfgsdfgs

@UsukiDoll u are probably right - was just thinking may be the eqn should be A+B-D=I or something like that instead.

^ matrix in latex is crummy, but thanks for the link. still I prefer to draw in this case.

wow that looks nice.
