if (-2 1 x+2 )

(3 x-4 5 ) =25
(0 1 3 )

a) find the value of x

b) hence ,find (-2 1 x+2 )^-1
( 3 x-4 5 )
(o 1 3 )

To find the value of x, we need to solve the equation (matrix equation) given.

First, let's multiply the two matrices on the left-hand side:

((-2)(3) + (1)(x+2) + (x+2)(5)) = 25
((3)(0) + (x-4)(1) + (5)(3)) = 25
((0)(0) + (1)(1) + (3)(3)) = 25

Now, simplify the equation:

-6 + x + 2 + 5x + 10 = 25
3x + 6 = 25
3x = 19
x = 19/3

So, the value of x is 19/3.

Now, let's move on to part b) and find the inverse of the given matrix:

To find the inverse of a matrix, let's use the formula:

A^(-1) = (1/det(A)) * adj(A)

where det(A) is the determinant of matrix A, and adj(A) is the adjugate (transpose of the cofactor matrix).

First, calculate the determinant of the matrix:

A = (-2 1 x+2 )
( 3 x-4 5 )
(0 1 3 )

det(A) = (-2)((x-4)(3) - (1)(5)) - (1)((3)(3) - (x-4)(0)) + (x+2)((0)(1) - (3)(1))
det(A) = (-6x + 24 - 5) - (9 - 0) + (0 - 3x - 6)
det(A) = -6x + 19 - 9 - 3x - 6
det(A) = -9x + 4

Next, calculate the adjugate of the matrix:

adj(A) = (x-4 -1 2)
(5 3 -3)
(-1 -1 -2)

Now, we can find the inverse of the matrix:

A^(-1) = (1/(-9x + 4)) * (adj(A))

So, the inverse of the matrix is:

(-1(x-4)/(-9x + 4) -1/(-9x + 4) 2/(-9x + 4) )
(5/(-9x + 4) 3/(-9x + 4) -3/(-9x + 4) )
(-1/(-9x + 4) -1/(-9x + 4) -2/(-9x + 4) )
