Sol.
We have to prove that, (AB)-1 = B-1A-1
⟹ (AB)-1 = B-1A-1
& hence find A-1?
Sol.
 satisfies x2 – 6x + 17 = 0, &
hence find A-1?

Consistent & Inconsistent System of
Equations
When a system of eq.s has one or more
solutions, the system is said to be
consistent.
If it has no solution, it is said to be
inconsistent.
Solution of a system of linear eq.s
using inverse of a matrix
Consider the system of eq.s,
i.e.,
when the system has a unique
sol. where
Case : 2
Find (adj. A) B, ∃ 2 cases.
Case : i – when (adj. A) B ≠ 0, no sol.
∴ The system is inconsist.
Case : ii – when adj. A ( B) = 0, ∃ 2 cases.
(a) no sol. ⟹ The system is inconsist.
(b) infinite no. of sol.s⟹ The system is
consistent
Pr.
1) Test the consistency of the following system
of eq.s & if consistent find the sol.?
i) 2x + 3y = 5

ii) 2x + 8y + 5z = 5
x + y + z = -2
x + 2y – z = 2
Sol.
∴The system is consistent.
The unique sol. is
