Question
Using elementary transformations, find the inverse of the following matrix:$\begin{bmatrix} 1 & 2 & 3 \\ 2 & 5 & 7 \\ -2 & -4 & -5 \end{bmatrix}$

Answer

$\text{A}=\begin{pmatrix} 1 & 2 & 3 \\ 2 & 5 & 7 \\ -2 & -4 & -5 \end{pmatrix}=\begin{pmatrix} 1 &0 & 0 \\ 0 & 1 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & 1 \end{pmatrix}\text{A}$
Applying $R_2 \rightarrow R_2 - 2R_1, R_3 \rightarrow R_3 + 2R_1,$ we get
$\begin{pmatrix} 1 & 2 & 3 \\ 0 & 1 & 1 \\ 0 & 0 & 1 \end{pmatrix}=\begin{pmatrix} 1 &0 & 0 \\ -2 & 1 & 0 \\ 2 & 0 & 1 \end{pmatrix}\text{A}$
Applying $R_1 \rightarrow R_1 - 2R_2,$ we get
$\begin{pmatrix} 1 & 0 & 1 \\ 0 & 1 & 1 \\ 0 & 0 & 1 \end{pmatrix}=\begin{pmatrix} 5 & -2 & 0 \\ -2 & 1 & 0 \\ 2 & 0 & 1 \end{pmatrix}\text{A}$
Applying $R_1 \rightarrow R_1 - R_3, $ we get
$\begin{pmatrix} 1 & 0 & 1 \\ 0 & 1 & 1 \\ 0 & 0 & 1 \end{pmatrix}=\begin{pmatrix} 3 & -2 & -1 \\ -2 & 1 & 0 \\ 2 & 0 & 1 \end{pmatrix}\text{A}$
Applying $R_2 \rightarrow R_2 - R_3, $ we get
$\begin{pmatrix} 1 & 0 & 1 \\ 0 & 1 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & 1 \end{pmatrix}=\begin{pmatrix} 3 & -2 & -1 \\ -4 & 1 & -1 \\ 2 & 0 & 1 \end{pmatrix}\text{A}$
$\therefore \text{ A}^{-1}=\begin{pmatrix} 3 & -2 & -1 \\ -4 & 1 & -1 \\ 2 & 0 & 1 \end{pmatrix}.$

A factory manufactures two types of screws, A and B, each type requiring the use of two machines - an automatic and a hand-operated. It takes 4 minute on the automatic and 6 minutes on the hand-operated machines to manufacture a package of screws 'A', while it takes 6 minutes on the automatic and 3 minutes on the hand-operated machine to manufacture a package of screws 'B'. Each machine is available for at most 4 hours on any day. The manufacturer can sell a package of screws 'A' at a profit of 70 P and screws 'B' at a profit of Rs. 1. Assuming that he can sell all the screws he can manufacture, how many packages of each type should the factory owner produce in a day in order to maximize his profit? Determine the maximum profit.
