Use the matrices below to answer the following questions: \begin{equation*}A = \left[\begin{matrix}-12 & -7\\15 & 3\\-19 & -18\end{matrix}\right] B = \left[\begin{matrix}-16 & 18 & 0\\15 & 11 & 4\end{matrix}\right] C = \left[\begin{matrix}-18 & -10\end{matrix}\right] D = \left[\begin{matrix}2 & 2 & -5\\-1 & 9 & 8\\0 & 9 & 5\end{matrix}\right] E = \left[\begin{matrix}-15 & 18\\10 & 7\\-1 & 11\end{matrix}\right] \end{equation*}

  1. Find \(\displaystyle A + E\) and \(\displaystyle C + D\)
  2. Find \(\displaystyle BC\) and \(\displaystyle CB\)
  3. Find the inverse of Matrix D, that is \(\displaystyle D^{-1}\)


  1. \(\displaystyle \left[\begin{matrix}-12 & -7\\15 & 3\\-19 & -18\end{matrix}\right]+\left[\begin{matrix}-15 & 18\\10 & 7\\-1 & 11\end{matrix}\right]=\left[\begin{matrix}-27 & 11\\25 & 10\\-20 & -7\end{matrix}\right]\) The sum is undefined. The matricies do not have the same shape.
  2. The product is undefined. \(\displaystyle \left[\begin{matrix}-18 & -10\end{matrix}\right]\left[\begin{matrix}-16 & 18 & 0\\15 & 11 & 4\end{matrix}\right]=\left[\begin{matrix}138 & -434 & -40\end{matrix}\right]\)
  3. \(\displaystyle \left[\begin{matrix}-27 & -55 & 61\\5 & 10 & -11\\-9 & -18 & 20\end{matrix}\right]\)
