Question
Given $A=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}2 & 2 & -4 \\ -4 & 2 & -4 \\ 2 & -1 & 5\end{array}\right], B=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1 & -1 & 0 \\ 2 & 3 & 4 \\ 0 & 1 & 2\end{array}\right]$, find $B A$ and use this to solve the system of equations $y$ $+2 z=7, x-y=3,2 x+3 y+4 z=17$

Answer

We have,
$A =\left[\begin{array}{ccc}2 & 2 & -4 \\ -4 & 2 & -4 \\ 2 & -1 & 5\end{array}\right], B =\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1 & -1 & 0 \\ 2 & 3 & 4 \\ 0 & 1 & 2\end{array}\right]$ $\therefore BA =\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1 & -1 & 0 \\ 2 & 3 & 4 \\ 0 & 1 & 2\end{array}\right]\left[\begin{array}{ccc}2 & 2 & -4 \\ -4 & 2 & -4 \\ 2 & -1 & 5\end{array}\right]=\left[\begin{array}{lll}6 & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & 6 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & 6\end{array}\right]=6 I$ $\therefore B ^{-1}=\frac{A}{6}=\frac{1}{6} A=\frac{1}{6}\left[\begin{array}{ccc}2 & 2 & -4 \\ -4 & 2 & -4 \\ 2 & -1 & 5\end{array}\right]$
Also, $x-y=3,2 x+3 y+4 z=17$ and $y+2 z=7$ $\Rightarrow\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1 & -1 & 0 \\ 2 & 3 & 4 \\ 0 & 1 & 2\end{array}\right]\left[\begin{array}{l}x \\ y \\ z\end{array}\right]=\left[\begin{array}{c}3 \\ 17 \\ 7\end{array}\right]$
$\therefore\left[\begin{array}{l}x \\ y \\ z\end{array}\right]=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1 & -1 & 0 \\ 2 & 3 & 4 \\ 0 & 1 & 2\end{array}\right]^{-1}\left[\begin{array}{c}3 \\ 17 \\ 7\end{array}\right]$
$=\frac{1}{6}\left[\begin{array}{ccc}2 & 2 & -4 \\ -4 & 2 & -4 \\ 2 & -1 & 5\end{array}\right]\left[\begin{array}{c}3 \\ 17 \\ 7\end{array}\right]$ [using Eq. (i)] $=\frac{1}{6}\left[\begin{array}{c}6+34-28 \\ -12+34-28 \\ 6-17+35\end{array}\right]=\frac{1}{6}\left[\begin{array}{c}12 \\ -6 \\ 24\end{array}\right]=\left[\begin{array}{c}2 \\ -1 \\ 4\end{array}\right]$
$\therefore x=2, y=-1$ and $z=4$
