Q11:
If $x\begin{bmatrix} 2 \\ 3 \end{bmatrix} + y\begin{bmatrix} -1 \\ 1 \end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix} 10 \\ 5 \end{bmatrix}$, find the values of $x$ and $y$.
Solution :
Step 1: Scalar Multiplication of Matrices
Given the equation: $x\begin{bmatrix} 2 \\ 3 \end{bmatrix} + y\begin{bmatrix} -1 \\ 1 \end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix} 10 \\ 5 \end{bmatrix}$
Perform scalar multiplication by distributing the scalars $x$ and $y$ into their respective matrices [Per the scalar multiplication property of matrices, $k[A] = [kA]$]:
$\begin{bmatrix} 2x \\ 3x \end{bmatrix} + \begin{bmatrix} -y \\ y \end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix} 10 \\ 5 \end{bmatrix}$
Step 2: Matrix Addition
Add the two matrices by summing their corresponding elements [Per the definition of matrix addition, where $(A+B)_{ij} = A_{ij} + B_{ij}$]:
$\begin{bmatrix} 2x - y \\ 3x + y \end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix} 10 \\ 5 \end{bmatrix}$
Step 3: Equating Corresponding Elements
By the definition of matrix equality, two matrices are equal if and only if their corresponding elements are equal. This yields the following system of linear equations:
- $2x - y = 10$ (Equation 1)
- $3x + y = 5$ (Equation 2)
Step 4: Solving the System of Linear Equations
To eliminate variable $y$, add Equation 1 and Equation 2:
$(2x - y) + (3x + y) = 10 + 5$
$5x = 15$
$x = \frac{15}{5} = 3$
Now, substitute $x = 3$ into Equation 2 to find $y$:
$3(3) + y = 5$
$9 + y = 5$
$y = 5 - 9$
$y = -4$
Step 5: Verification (Geometrical Representation)
The solution can be viewed as finding the linear combination of two vectors $\vec{u} = \begin{bmatrix} 2 \\ 3 \end{bmatrix}$ and $\vec{v} = \begin{bmatrix} -1 \\ 1 \end{bmatrix}$ that results in vector $\vec{w} = \begin{bmatrix} 10 \\ 5 \end{bmatrix}$.
Final Solution: $x = 3, y = -4$
