---------------------------------------------------------------------------
If we look at the following matrix
[a d]
[c b]
To find the inverse, you would first multiply c and d by a -1.
[a -d]
[-c b]
then you would switch a and b's positions
[b -d]
[-c a]
then multiply all the numbers in the matrix by .1
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
[10 -3]
[3 -1]
multiply c and d by -1
[10 3]
[-3 -1]
then switch a and b's position
[-1 3]
[-3 10]
now multiply everything by .1
[-.1 .3]
[-.3 1]
This is the inverse
