Matrix Decomposition

Cramers Rule
It is a theorem, which gives an expression for
the solution of a system of linear equations with
as many equations as unknowns, valid in those
cases where there is a unique solution.
The solution is expressed in terms of the
determinants of the (square) coefficient matrix
and of matrices obtained from it by replacing
one column by the vector of right hand sides of
the equations.
Cramers Rule
Example: Use Cramers Rule to solve the system.

4x - y + z = -5
2x + 2y + 3z = 10
5x 2y + 6z = 1
Inverse Matrices
The solution is given from the product of
the adjoint of the transpose of a matrix and
its constant.
