Question

Find the inverse of the following matrix (if they exist):

`[(2,1),(7,4)]`

Sum

Solution

Let A = `[(2,1),(7,4)]`

∴ |A| = `|(2,1),(7,4)| = 8 - 7 = 1 ne 0`

∴ A-1 exists.

Consider AA-1 = I

∴ `[(2,1),(7,4)] "A"^-1 = [(1,0),(0,1)]`

By R1 → R1 - `1/7`R2 we get,

`[(1,3/7),(7,4)] "A"^-1 = [(1,(-1)/7),(0,1)]`

By R2 → R2 - 7R1 we get,

`[(1,3/7),(0,1)] "A"^-1 = [(1,(-1)/7),(-7,2)]`

By R1 → R1 - `3/7`R2 

`[(1,0),(0,1)] "A"^-1 = [(4,-1),(-7,2)]`

∴ `"A"^-1 = [(4,-1),(-7,2)]`
