solve() function in
R Language is used to solve linear algebraic equation. Here equation is like a*x = b, where b is a vector or matrix and x is a variable whose value is going to be calculated.
Syntax: solve(a, b)
Parameters:
a: coefficients of the equation
b: vector or matrix of the equation
Example 1:
Python3
# R program to illustrate
# solve function
# Calling solve() function to
# calculate value of x in
# ax = b, where a and b is
# taken as the arguments
solve(5, 10)
solve(2, 6)
solve(3, 12)
Output:
[1] 2
[1] 3
[1] 4
Example 2:
Python3
# R program to illustrate
# solve function
# Create 3 different vectors
# using combine method.
a1 <- c(3, 2, 5)
a2 <- c(2, 3, 2)
a3 <- c(5, 2, 4)
# bind the three vectors into a matrix
# using rbind() which is basically
# row-wise binding
A <- rbind(a1, a2, a3)
# print the original matrix
print(A)
# Use the solve() function
# to calculate the inverse
T1 <- solve(A)
# print the inverse of the matrix
print(T1)
Output:
[, 1] [, 2] [, 3]
a1 3 2 5
a2 2 3 2
a3 5 2 4
a1 a2 a3
