This document discusses inverse matrices and provides examples of finding the inverse of matrices using two methods: 1) Solving simultaneous equations: Forming equations by setting the product of the matrix and its potential inverse equal to the identity matrix. 2) Using a formula: For 2x2 matrices, the inverse is determined by calculating the determinant of the original matrix and arranging the cofactors. Examples are provided to demonstrate both methods. Exercises at the end ask the reader to find specific inverses using each technique.

2. Inverse matrixThe inverse of a square matrix is another matrix such that when the two are multiplied together, in any order, the product is an identify matrix.

3. Inverse matrixWhen a number , n , multiplies by its reciprocal n¯¹ , the product is 1.The inverse of a matrix, A, is denoted by A¯¹ and the product of A x A¯¹ is the identify matrix, I .

4. Example:Determine whether matrix A is the inverse of matrix B.a) A=[][] 7 -4-5 345 7 , B=b) A=[] ,B=[]53 853 2

5. Solution:a)AB=[][]45 7 7 -4-5 3= []21+(-20) -12+1235+(-35) -20+21= []00 1

6. BA = [][] 7 -4-5 33 45 7= [] 21+(-20) 28+(-28)-15+15 -20+21= []00 1AB= I and BA= ITherefore; A is the inverse matrix of B, A=Bˉ¹. B is the inverse matrix of A, B=Aˉ¹.

7. b) AB= [][]53 88 53 2 = []16+15 10+1024+24 15+16= [] 2048 31( Not equal to I )Therefore; A is not the inverse matrix of matrix B, A is not equal to B.

10. a. Method of solving simultaneous equationsGiven, matrix A = [ ]To find the inverse of matrix A, let A¯¹ =[ ]A x A¯¹ = IThen; [ ][ ]=[ ][ ]=[ ] Equal Matrices13 4 a b c d 00 113 4a bc d3a + c 3b + d 3a + 4c 3b + 4d00 1

11. 3a + c = 1 1 3b + d = 0 3 3a + 4c = 0 2 3b + 4d = 1 41-2 : -3c = 1 3-4 : -3d = -1 c = - d = Substitute c = - in equation 1 3a + (- ) = 1 a =Substitute d = in equation 33b + ( ) = 0 b = - Therefore, Aˉ¹=[ ]Check the answer; AAˉ¹= [ ][ ] = [ ]= I13 400 1

12. Example 1Given the matrix B, find the inverse Bˉ¹by using the method of solving simultaneous linear equations. B= [ ]Solution: Let Bˉ¹= [ ][][ ]=[ ] [ ]=[ ]4e + 3g = 1 1 4f + 4h = 0 34e + 4g = 0 2 4f + 4h = 1 4 34 4e fg h00 134 4e fg h4e +3g 4f +3h4e +4f 4f +4g00 1

13. 2-1 : g = -1 4-3 : h = 1So, 4e + 3(-1) = 1 so, 4f + (1)= 0 e = 1 f = -Therefore, Bˉ¹= [ ]

14. B. Using FormulaWe can obtain the inverse of 2 x 2 matrix by using the following formula.In general, if A = [ ]The inverse of matrix A is Aˉ¹ = [ ][ ]ad-bc is the determinant and written as |A|a bc d d -b-c a
