Solve the following system of equations, using matrices : \[\frac{2}{\mathrm{x}}+\frac{3}{\mathrm{y}}+\frac{10}{\mathrm{z}}=4, \quad \frac{4}{\mathrm{x}}-\frac{6}{\mathrm{y}}+\frac{5}{\mathrm{z}}=1, \quad \frac{6}{\mathrm{x}}+\frac{9}{\mathrm{y}}-\frac{20}{\mathrm{z}}=2 \] where $\displaystyle \mathrm{x}, \mathrm{y}, \mathrm{z} \neq 0$If $\displaystyle \mathrm{A}=\left[\begin{array}{cc}1 & \cot \mathrm{x} \\ -\cot \mathrm{x} & 1\end{array}\right]$, show that $\displaystyle \mathrm{A}^{\prime} \mathrm{A}^{-1}=\left[\begin{array}{rr}-\cos 2 \mathrm{x} & -\sin 2 \mathrm{x} \\ \sin 2 \mathrm{x} & -\cos 2 \mathrm{x}\end{array}\right]$.

If $\displaystyle \mathrm{A}=\left[\begin{array}{cc}1 & \cot \mathrm{x} \\ -\cot \mathrm{x} & 1\end{array}\right]$, show that $\displaystyle \mathrm{A}^{\prime} \mathrm{A}^{-1}=\left[\begin{array}{rr}-\cos 2 \mathrm{x} & -\sin 2 \mathrm{x} \\ \sin 2 \mathrm{x} & -\cos 2 \mathrm{x}\end{array}\right]$.

Given system of linear equations is equivalent to $\displaystyle \mathrm{AX}=\mathrm{B}$, where\begin{aligned}
& \mathrm{A}=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}
2 & 3 & 10
4 & -6 & 5
6 & 9 & -20
\end{array}\right], X=\left[\begin{array}{c}
\frac{1}{\mathrm{x}}
\frac{1}{\mathrm{y}}
\frac{1}{\mathrm{z}}
\end{array}\right], \mathrm{B}=\left[\begin{array}{l}
4
1
\end{array}\right]
& |\mathrm{A}|=1200 \neq 0
\end{aligned}Cofactors of the elements of A are\begin{aligned}
& \mathrm{A}_{11}=75, \mathrm{A}_{12}=110, \mathrm{A}_{13}=72
& \mathrm{A}_{21}=150, \mathrm{A}_{22}=-100, \mathrm{A}_{23}=0
& \mathrm{A}_{31}=75, \mathrm{A}_{32}=30, \mathrm{A}_{33}=-24
\end{aligned}
\operatorname{adj} \mathrm{A}=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}
75 & 150 & 75
110 & -100 & 30
72 & 0 & -24
\end{array}\right]
\mathrm{A}^{-1}=\frac{\operatorname{adjA}}{|\mathrm{A}|}=\frac{1}{1200}\left[\begin{array}{ccc}
75 & 150 & 75
110 & -100 & 30
72 & 0 & -24
\end{array}\right]
X=\mathrm{A}^{-1} \mathrm{B}=\frac{1}{1200}\left[\begin{array}{ccc}
75 & 150 & 75
110 & -100 & 30
72 & 0 & -24
\end{array}\right]\left[\begin{array}{l}
4
1
\end{array}\right]
\therefore \mathrm{x}=2, \mathrm{y}=3, \mathrm{z}=5
\begin{aligned}
& |\mathrm{A}|=1+\cot ^{2} \mathrm{x}=\operatorname{cosec}^{2} \mathrm{x}
& \operatorname{adj} \mathrm{A}=\left[\begin{array}{cc}
1 & -\cot \mathrm{x}
\cot \mathrm{x} & 1
\end{array}\right]
\end{aligned}
