Question 1.
Find the values of a and below
\(\begin{bmatrix} a+3 & { b }^{ 2 }+2 \\ 0 & -6 \end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix} 2a+1 & 3b \\ 0 & { b }^{ 2 }-5b \end{bmatrix}\)
Solution:
\(\begin{bmatrix} a+3 & { b }^{ 2 }+2 \\ 0 & -6 \end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix} 2a+1 & 3b \\ 0 & { b }^{ 2 }-5b \end{bmatrix}\)
comparing the corresponding elements
a + 3 = 2a + 1
=> 2a – a =3 – 1
=> a = 2
b² + 2 = 3b
=>b² – 3b + 2 = 0
=> b² – b – 2b + 2 = 0
=> b (b – 1) – 2 (b – 1) = 0
=> (b – 1) (b – 2) = 0.
Either b – 1 = 0, then b = 1 or b – 2 = 0,
