Inverse of a matrix

For a 2 by 2 matrix, the inverse is generally expressed as:

[tex]\left[\begin{array}{ccc}a&b\\c&d\\\end{array}\right] ^{-1}=\frac{1}{ad-bc}\left[\begin{array}{ccc}d&-b\\-c&a\\\end{array}\right][/tex]

Since the given matrix is a square matrix and 2 by 2, therefore it will have an inverse.

Determine the determinant

|A| = 5(5) - 2(12)

|A| = 25 - 24

|A| = 1

Substitute the values into the formula above

[tex]\left[\begin{array}{ccc}5&12\\2&5\\\end{array}\right] ^{-1}=(1)\left[\begin{array}{ccc}5&-12\\-2&5\\\end{array}\right][/tex]

Hence the inverse of the function is [tex]\left[\begin{array}{ccc}5&-12\\-2&5\\\end{array}\right][/tex]
