Step-by-step solution

6 steps

the student's work for finding aa and bb is correct. I will complete the solution by finding cc and dd.

  1. Set up the matrix multiplication.

    Given P=(abcd)P = \begin{pmatrix} a & b \\ c & d \end{pmatrix}, M=(3−2−43)M = \begin{pmatrix} 3 & -2 \\ -4 & 3 \end{pmatrix}, and N=(54−26)N = \begin{pmatrix} 5 & 4 \\ -2 & 6 \end{pmatrix}.
    The equation is PM=NPM = N.

    (abcd)(3−2−43)=(54−26)\begin{pmatrix} a & b \\ c & d \end{pmatrix} \begin{pmatrix} 3 & -2 \\ -4 & 3 \end{pmatrix} = \begin{pmatrix} 5 & 4 \\ -2 & 6 \end{pmatrix}
  2. Perform the matrix multiplication.

    ((a)(3)+(b)(−4)(a)(−2)+(b)(3)(c)(3)+(d)(−4)(c)(−2)+(d)(3))=(54−26)\begin{pmatrix} (a)(3) + (b)(-4) & (a)(-2) + (b)(3) \\ (c)(3) + (d)(-4) & (c)(-2) + (d)(3) \end{pmatrix} = \begin{pmatrix} 5 & 4 \\ -2 & 6 \end{pmatrix} (3a−4b−2a+3b3c−4d−2c+3d)=(54−26)\begin{pmatrix} 3a - 4b & -2a + 3b \\ 3c - 4d & -2c + 3d \end{pmatrix} = \begin{pmatrix} 5 & 4 \\ -2 & 6 \end{pmatrix}
  3. Formulate systems of linear equations.

    Equating the corresponding elements gives two systems of equations:
    For aa and bb:

    1. 3a−4b=53a - 4b = 5
    2. −2a+3b=4-2a + 3b = 4

    For cc and dd: 3) 3c−4d=−23c - 4d = -2 4) −2c+3d=6-2c + 3d = 6

  4. Solve for aa and bb.

    Multiply equation (1) by 2 and equation (2) by 3:
    2(3a−4b)=2(5)  ⟹  6a−8b=102(3a - 4b) = 2(5) \implies 6a - 8b = 10
    3(−2a+3b)=3(4)  ⟹  −6a+9b=123(-2a + 3b) = 3(4) \implies -6a + 9b = 12
    Add the two new equations:
    (6a−8b)+(−6a+9b)=10+12(6a - 8b) + (-6a + 9b) = 10 + 12
    b=22b = 22
    Substitute b=22b = 22 into equation (1):
    3a−4(22)=53a - 4(22) = 5
    3a−88=53a - 88 = 5
    3a=5+883a = 5 + 88
    3a=933a = 93
    a=933a = \frac{93}{3}
    a=31a = 31

  5. Solve for cc and dd.

    Multiply equation (3) by 2 and equation (4) by 3:
    2(3c−4d)=2(−2)  ⟹  6c−8d=−42(3c - 4d) = 2(-2) \implies 6c - 8d = -4
    3(−2c+3d)=3(6)  ⟹  −6c+9d=183(-2c + 3d) = 3(6) \implies -6c + 9d = 18
    Add the two new equations:
    (6c−8d)+(−6c+9d)=−4+18(6c - 8d) + (-6c + 9d) = -4 + 18
    d=14d = 14
    Substitute d=14d = 14 into equation (3):
    3c−4(14)=−23c - 4(14) = -2
    3c−56=−23c - 56 = -2
    3c=−2+563c = -2 + 56
    3c=543c = 54
    c=543c = \frac{54}{3}
    c=18c = 18

  6. Write the matrix PP.

    P=(abcd)=(31221814)P = \begin{pmatrix} a & b \\ c & d \end{pmatrix} = \begin{pmatrix} 31 & 22 \\ 18 & 14 \end{pmatrix}

    The matrix PP is:

    (31221814)\begin{pmatrix} 31 & 22 \\ 18 & 14 \end{pmatrix}
