In this problem, we are going to solve for a matrix d given a certain matrix equation.
00:06
Now, here it is assumed that all the matrices are of order n and they are invertible.
00:12
And the given matrix equation is c transpose b inverse a square b, a, c inverse b, a to the power minus 2, d transpose c to the power minus 2, this is equals to c transpose.
00:42
Now we need to solve for the matrix b.
00:46
Now in order to do this, we will pre -multiply the left -hand side of the equation with the inverse of this matrix and we will post -multiply with the inverse of this matrix.
01:01
So what we get is c -t -b -inverse a -square b -a -c -inverse times c -t -b -inverse a -square -b -a -c -inverse times d times a -to -the -power -minus 2 b -t -c -to -the -power -2 -inverse.
01:27
Times a to the power minus 2, b t, c to the power minus 2 inverse.
01:34
And because of this we need to do the same operation on the right hand side.
01:38
So the right hand side will become c t b inverse a square b, a, c inverse, times what was on the right hand side originally, which is c to the power t or rather c transpose.
01:58
And with that we post multiply a to the power minus 2, b transpose, c minus 2, inverse.
02:06
Now on the left hand side, since we have that the product of a matrix with its inverse is equals to the identity matrix, so the left hand side reduces to the identity matrix times the matrix d times the identity matrix.
02:23
On the right hand side, we need to simplify this.
02:27
Now, this will be obtained as the first one will be the inverses, the product of the inverses, but in the reverse order.
02:37
So first of all, we have c inverse, inverse, then a inverse, then b inverse, and so on...
