To solve an inverse matrix extensively, I'll demonstrate the process for a 2×22 \times 2 matrix. If you have a specific matrix in mind, feel free to send it.

Let's find the inverse of the matrix AA:

A=[3152]A = \begin{bmatrix} 3 & 1 \\ 5 & 2 \end{bmatrix}
  1. Calculate the determinant of matrix AA.

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

    det⁡(A)=(3)(2)−(1)(5)\det(A) = (3)(2) - (1)(5) det⁡(A)=6−5\det(A) = 6 - 5 det⁡(A)=1\det(A) = 1
  2. Check if the determinant is non-zero.

    Since det⁡(A)=1≠0\det(A) = 1 \neq 0, the inverse of the matrix exists. If the determinant were 0, the inverse would not exist.

  3. Find the adjugate matrix of AA.

    For a 2×22 \times 2 matrix [abcd]\begin{bmatrix} a & b \\ c & d \end{bmatrix}, the adjugate matrix is found by swapping the elements on the main diagonal (aa and dd) and changing the signs of the off-diagonal elements (bb and cc).

    adj(A)=[2−1−53]\text{adj}(A) = \begin{bmatrix} 2 & -1 \\ -5 & 3 \end{bmatrix}
  4. Calculate the inverse matrix A−1A^{-1}.

    The formula for the inverse of a matrix is A−1=1det⁡(A)adj(A)A^{-1} = \frac{1}{\det(A)} \text{adj}(A).

    A−1=11[2−1−53]A^{-1} = \frac{1}{1} \begin{bmatrix} 2 & -1 \\ -5 & 3 \end{bmatrix} A−1=[2−1−53]A^{-1} = \begin{bmatrix} 2 & -1 \\ -5 & 3 \end{bmatrix}

    The inverse of the matrix A=[3152]A = \begin{bmatrix} 3 & 1 \\ 5 & 2 \end{bmatrix} is:
