Question : 15
Total: 29
Using elementary row operations, find the inverse of the following matrix:
[
]
Solution:
Let A= [
]
We can write A = IA
i.e.[
] = [
] A
ApplyingR 1 →
R 1 , we get
[
] = [
] A
ApplyingR 2 → R 2 − R 1 , gives
[
] = [
] A
Applying ,R 1 → R 1 − 5 R 2 we obtain
[
] = [
] A
ApplyingR 2 → 2 R 2 , gives
[
] = [ able 3 , − 5 ; − 1 , 2 ] A
Therefore,A − 1 = [
]
We can write A = IA
i.e.
Applying
