Because this system is too large to solve using the standard method for a system of complex
equations, this alternate method (described in the owner's handbook) is used. First, enter the
system matrix into matrix A in complex form and calculate its inverse. Note that ωL = 150,
1/ωC

1

= 800/3, and 1/ωC

2

= 8/3.
