To find A−1A^{-1}, we use the property that if AB=CAB = C, then A−1=BC−1A^{-1} = BC^{-1}.
Given AB=[3211]AB = \begin{bmatrix} 3 & 2 \\ 1 & 1 \end{bmatrix} and B=[1120]B = \begin{bmatrix} 1 & 1 \\ 2 & 0 \end{bmatrix}.
Let C=AB=[3211]C = AB = \begin{bmatrix} 3 & 2 \\ 1 & 1 \end{bmatrix}.

Step 1: Calculate the determinant of CC.
For a 2×22 \times 2 matrix [abcd]\begin{bmatrix} a & b \\ c & d \end{bmatrix}, the determinant is ad−bcad - bc.

det⁡(C)=(3)(1)−(2)(1)=3−2=1\det(C) = (3)(1) - (2)(1) = 3 - 2 = 1

Step 2: Calculate the inverse of CC.
For a 2×22 \times 2 matrix [abcd]\begin{bmatrix} a & b \\ c & d \end{bmatrix}, the inverse is 1ad−bc[d−b−ca]\frac{1}{ad-bc} \begin{bmatrix} d & -b \\ -c & a \end{bmatrix}.

C−1=11[1−2−13]=[1−2−13]C^{-1} = \frac{1}{1} \begin{bmatrix} 1 & -2 \\ -1 & 3 \end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix} 1 & -2 \\ -1 & 3 \end{bmatrix}

Step 3: Calculate A−1A^{-1} using the formula A−1=BC−1A^{-1} = BC^{-1}.

A−1=[1120][1−2−13]A^{-1} = \begin{bmatrix} 1 & 1 \\ 2 & 0 \end{bmatrix} \begin{bmatrix} 1 & -2 \\ -1 & 3 \end{bmatrix}

Step 4: Perform the matrix multiplication.
