College Algebra, Chapter 7, 7.3, Section 7.3, Problem 8

Determine the inverse of the matrix and verify that $B^{-1} B = BB^{-1} = I_3$

where $\displaystyle B = \left[ \begin{array}{ccc}
1 & 3 & 2 \\
0 & 2 & 2 \\
-2 & -1 & 0
\end{array} \right]$

We first add the identity matrix to the right of our matrix

$\displaystyle \left[ \begin{array}{ccc|ccc}
1 & 3 & 2 & 1 & 0 & 0 \\
0 & 2 & 2 & 0 & 1 & 0 \\
-2 & -1 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 1
\end{array} \right]$

Using Gauss-Jordan Elimination

$\displaystyle R_3 + 2R_1 \to R_3$

$\left[ \begin{array}{ccc|ccc}
1 & 3 & 2 & 1 & 0 & 0 \\
0 & 2 & 2 & 0 & 1 & 0 \\
0 & 5 & 4 & 2 & 0 & 1
\end{array} \right]$


$\displaystyle \frac{1}{2} R_2$

$\left[ \begin{array}{ccc|ccc}
1 & 3 & 2 & 1 & 0 & 0 \\
0 & 1 & 1 & 0 & \displaystyle \frac{1}{2} & 0 \\
0 & 5 & 4 & 2 & 0 & 1
\end{array} \right]$


$\displaystyle R_3 - 5 R_2 \to R_3$

$\left[ \begin{array}{ccc|ccc}
1 & 3 & 2 & 1 & 0 & 0 \\
0 & 1 & 1 & 0 & \displaystyle \frac{1}{2} & 0 \\
0 & 0 & -1 & 2 & \displaystyle \frac{-5}{2} & 1
\end{array} \right]$

$\displaystyle - R_3$

$\left[ \begin{array}{ccc|ccc}
1 & 3 & 2 & 1 & 0 & 0 \\
0 & 1 & 1 & 0 & \displaystyle \frac{1}{2} & 0 \\
0 & 0 & 1 & -2 & \displaystyle \frac{5}{2} & -1
\end{array} \right]$

$\displaystyle R_2 - R_3 \to R_2$

$\left[ \begin{array}{ccc|ccc}
1 & 3 & 2 & 1 & 0 & 0 \\
0 & 1 & 0 & 2 & -2 & 1 \\
0 & 0 & 1 & -2 & \displaystyle \frac{5}{2} & -1
\end{array} \right]$

$\displaystyle R_1 - 2 R_3 \to R_1$

$\left[ \begin{array}{ccc|ccc}
1 & 3 & 0 & 5 & -5 & 2 \\
0 & 1 & 0 & 2 & -2 & 1 \\
0 & 0 & 1 & -2 & \displaystyle \frac{5}{2} & -1
\end{array} \right]$

$\displaystyle R_1 - 3 R_2 \to R_1$

$\left[ \begin{array}{ccc|ccc}
1 & 0 & 0 & -1 & 1 & -1 \\
0 & 1 & 0 & 2 & -2 & 1 \\
0 & 0 & 1 & -2 & \displaystyle \frac{5}{2} & -1
\end{array} \right]$

The right half is now $B^{-1}$

$\displaystyle B^{-1} = \left[ \begin{array}{ccc}
-1 & 1 & -1 \\
2 & -2 & 1 \\
-2 & \displaystyle \frac{5}{2} & -1
\end{array} \right]$

We calculate $BB^{-1}$ and $B^{-1} B$ and verify that both products give the identity matrix $I_3$

\begin{equation}
\begin{aligned}

BB^{-1} = \left[ \begin{array}{ccc}
1 & 3 & 2 \\
0 & 2 & 2 \\
-2 & -1 & 0
\end{array} \right]

\left[ \begin{array}{ccc}
-1 & 1 & -1 \\
2 & -2 & 1 \\
-2 & \displaystyle \frac{5}{2} & -1
\end{array} \right]

=&

\left[ \begin{array}{ccc}
1 \cdot (-1) + 3 \cdot 2 + 2 \cdot (-2) & \displaystyle 1 \cdot 1 + 3 \cdot (-2) \cdot \frac{5}{2} & 1 \cdot (-1) + 3 \cdot 1 + 2 \cdot (-1) \\
0 \cdot (-1) + 2 \cdot 2 + 2 \cdot (-2) & \displaystyle 0 \cdot 1 + 2 \cdot (-2) + 2 \cdot \frac{5}{2} & 0 \cdot (-1) + 2 \cdot 1 + 2 \cdot (-1) \\
-2 \cdot (-1) + (-1) \cdot 2 + 0 \cdot (-2) & \displaystyle -2 \cdot 1 + (-1) \cdot (-2) + 0 \cdot \frac{5}{2} & -2 \cdot (-1) + (-1) \cdot 1 + 0 \cdot (-1)
\end{array} \right]

\\

\\

=& \left[ \begin{array}{ccc}
1 & 0 & 0 \\
0 & 1 & 0 \\
0 & 0 & 1
\end{array} \right]

B^{-1} B =\left[ \begin{array}{ccc}
-1 & 1 & -1 \\
2 & -2 & 1 \\
-2 & \displaystyle \frac{5}{2} & -1
\end{array} \right]

\left[ \begin{array}{ccc}
1 & 3 & 2 \\
0 & 2 & 2 \\
-2 & -1 & 0
\end{array} \right]

=& \left[ \begin{array}{ccc}

In “Fahrenheit 451,” what does Faber mean by “Those who don’t build must burn. It’s as old as history and juvenile delinquents”?

During a conversation between Montag and Faber, Faber says, "Those who don't build must burn. It's as old as history and juvenile delinquents" (Bradbury, 42). Faber is saying that those individuals who do not positively contribute to society are helping to destroy it. Faber's analogy corresponds to the function of the firefighters, who destroy books and prevent individuals from attaining knowledge. Montag, who is a jaded firefighter, feels extremely guilty about participating in the destruction of society. He visits Faber in hopes of altering the trajectory of his life and wishes to contribute to society instead of being a destructive force. Faber believes that authors, artists, and intellectuals "build" institutions and have an overall positive impact on society. According to Faber's views, individuals who do not give back to society either directly or indirectly contribute to its destruction, which explains his own feelings of guilt. While Faber do...

In what ways might RFID technology be used to serve customers better? What problems might arise? Do you think that the technology might be valuable when implanted in animals or people?

RFID stands for Radio Frequency Identification. It is a type of wireless technology and basically has three components to it: a tag, a reader, and a computer system. The tag consists of a microchip and radio antenna. The microchip in the tag contains essential information about a product or item. To transmit this information to a reader, the tag uses radio signals. After picking up the signals, the reader delivers the information to a computer system. From the computer system, companies can easily track the kinds of products consumers like to buy. This allows companies to position advertisements, sales, and product placements in stores according to their customer's preferences. Also, using RFID technology increases productivity: it is much easier to use, is more accurate, and less error-prone than traditional bar-coding. Thus, increased productivity leads to greater profits for companies. As for consumers, the benefits of RFID technology are numerous. For example, it minimizes wait...
