Solved by pluggable solver: Finding the Inverse of a 2x2 Matrix

To find the inverse of the matrix , we can follow these steps:

Step 1) Find the determinant

The determinant of is . So this means that

Step 2) Swap the values

Now switch the highlighted values to get

Step 3) Change the sign

Now change the sign of the highlighted values to get

Step 4) Multiply by the inverse of the determinant

Multiply by to get

Plug in to get

Step 5) Multiply by every element in the matrix (simplify and reduce if possible)

Multiply by EVERY element to get

Multiply to get

Reduce each element:

=================================================================

Answer:

So the inverse of is

This means that if then

2)

In order to find the inverse of , we need to find the row reduced form of

This solution was generated by the Linear Algebra Toolkit

Notice how the right hand matrix is

So this means that the inverse of is
