Question:

In Example 1, change the element −7 to −5 and then find the inverse using the same method.


Data from Example 1

Find the inverse of the matrix


First, we interchange the elements on the principal diagonal and change the signs of the off-diagonal elements. This gives us the matrix.


Now, we find the determinant of the original matrix, which means we evaluate


We now divide each element of the second matrix by −2. This gives


Checking by multiplication gives


Because AA−1 = I, the matrix A−1 is the proper inverse matrix.
