Question : 15
Total: 29
Using elementary row operations, find the inverse of the following matrix:
[
25
13
]

Solution:  
Let A= [
25
13
]

We can write A = IA
i.e. [
25
13
]
= [
10
01
]
A
Applying R1 →
1
2
R1
, we get
[
1
5
2
13
]
= [
1
2
0
01
]
A
Applying R2 → R2−R1 , gives
[
1
5
2
0
1
2
]
= [

A
Applying , R1 → R1−5R2 we obtain
[
10
0
1
2
]
= [
3−5
−

]
A
Applying R2 → 2R2 , gives
[
10
01
]
= [able‌3,−5;−1,2] A
Therefore, A−1 = [
3−5
−12
]
