Cevap

The value of x+yx + y is 3-3.
Since matrix ABAB is singular, det(AB)=det(A)det(B)=0\det(AB) = \det(A)\det(B) = 0. Evaluating det(A)=70\det(A) = 7 \neq 0, we find det(B)=xy2=0\det(B) = xy - 2 = 0, giving xy=2xy = 2. Computing A+B=(2+x303+y)A+B = \begin{pmatrix} 2+x & 3 \\ 0 & 3+y \end{pmatrix}, its determinant is (2+x)(3+y)=6+3x+2y+xy=0(2+x)(3+y) = 6 + 3x + 2y + xy = 0. Substituting xy=2xy = 2 yields 3x+2y=83x + 2y = -8. The integer pair satisfying both xy=2xy = 2 and 3x+2y=83x + 2y = -8 is x=2x = -2 and y=1y = -1. Therefore, x+y=3x + y = -3.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Calculate the determinant of matrix AA.
det(A)=(2)(3)(1)(1)=6+1=7\det(A) = (2)(3) - (1)(-1) = 6 + 1 = 7.
Knowing det(A)\det(A) helps simplify the condition det(AB)=0\det(AB) = 0 using determinant properties.
2
Use the singularity of ABAB to find a relationship between xx and yy.
det(AB)=det(A)det(B)=7(xy2)=0    xy=2\det(AB) = \det(A)\det(B) = 7(xy - 2) = 0 \implies xy = 2.
The determinant of a product of matrices equals the product of their determinants.
3
Form the matrix A+BA + B and compute its determinant.
A+B=(2+x303+y)    det(A+B)=(2+x)(3+y)(3)(0)=(2+x)(3+y)=6+3x+2y+xyA + B = \begin{pmatrix} 2+x & 3 \\ 0 & 3+y \end{pmatrix} \implies \det(A+B) = (2+x)(3+y) - (3)(0) = (2+x)(3+y) = 6 + 3x + 2y + xy.
Setting this determinant to zero gives a second equation involving xx and yy.
4
Substitute xy=2xy = 2 into det(A+B)=0\det(A+B) = 0 and solve for integer values of xx and yy.
6+3x+2y+2=0    3x+2y=86 + 3x + 2y + 2 = 0 \implies 3x + 2y = -8. Testing integer pairs (x,y)(x,y) for xy=2xy = 2 gives x=2x = -2 and y=1y = -1.
3(2)+2(1)=83(-2) + 2(-1) = -8 is satisfied only by x=2,y=1x = -2, y = -1 among integer pairs.
5
Compute x+yx + y.
x+y=2+(1)=3x + y = -2 + (-1) = -3.
This answers the question directly.
