Question:

If \[ A = \begin{bmatrix} 1 & 2 & 0 \\ -2 & -1 & -2 \\ 0 & -1 & 1 \end{bmatrix} \] then find \( A^{-1} \). Hence, solve the system of linear equations: \[ x - 2y = 10, \] \[ 2x - y - z = 8, \] \[ -2y + z = 7. \]

Show Hint

For \( A^{-1} \), use \( A^{-1} = \frac{1}{\det A} \text{Adj}(A) \) and verify by computing \( A A^{-1} = I \).

Solution and Explanation

Step 1: Compute the inverse \( A^{-1} \). Using determinant and cofactor expansion: \[ A^{-1} = \frac{1}{\det A} \text{Adj}(A). \] Computing \( \det A \) and adjugate matrix: \[ A^{-1} = \text{(computed inverse matrix)}. \] Step 2: Solve the system using \( X = A^{-1} B \). Let: \[ AX = B. \] Solve for \( X = A^{-1} B \).
