Find the inverse of A= bmatrix5&2\4&3 bmatrix.

  1. 17 bmatrix3&-2\-4&5 bmatrix
  2. bmatrix3&-2\-4&5 bmatrix
  3. 17 bmatrix5&-2\-4&3 bmatrix
  4. 17 bmatrix3&2\4&5 bmatrix

Answer

A. 17 bmatrix3&-2\-4&5 bmatrix

Solution

A=5(3)-2(4)=7. Swap the diagonal entries and negate the off-diagonal entries: A-1= 17 bmatrix3&-2\-4&5 bmatrix.
