Solving the Complex Equation AX = B
You can solve the complex matrix equation AX = B by finding X = A
-1
B.
Do this by calculating X
P
= (Ã)
-1
B
P
.
To solve the equation AX = B, where A, X, and B are complex matrices:
1.
Store the elements of A and B in memory, in the form either of Z
P
or
of Z
C
.
2.
Recall the descriptor of the matrix representing B into the display.
3.
If the elements of B were entered in the form B
C
, press ´p to
transform B
C
into B
P
.
