Question statement

Let

$A=\begin{pmatrix} \var{a11}&\var{a12}\\ \var{a21}&\var{a22}\\ \end{pmatrix},\;\; B=\begin{pmatrix} \var{b11}&\var{b12}\\ \var{b21}&\var{b22}\\ \end{pmatrix},\;\; C=\begin{pmatrix} \var{c11}&\var{c12}\\ \var{c21}&\var{c22}\\ \end{pmatrix}$

Find the following matrix inverses. Input all matrix entries as fractions or integers and not as decimals.

Give any introductory information the student needs.

Advice

a)

Determinants.

Here is the formula for determinants:

$M = \begin{pmatrix} a & b \\ c&d \end{pmatrix} \Rightarrow \mathrm{det}\left(M\right) = ad-bc$

$\mathrm{det}\left(A\right) = \simplify[]{{a11}*{a22}-{a12}*{a21} = {dA}}$
$\mathrm{det}\left(B\right) = \simplify[]{{b11}*{b22}-{b12}*{b21} = {dB}}$
$\mathrm{det}\left(C\right) = \simplify[]{{c11}*{c22}-{c12}*{c21} = {dC}}$

Determinant of a product of matrices.

If we have two $n \times n$ matrices $M$ and $N$ then:

$\mathrm{det}\left(MN\right) = \mathrm{det}\left(M\right)\mathrm{det}\left(N\right)$
And it follows that if we have a third matrix

$P$ that:

$\mathrm{det}\left(MNP\right) = \mathrm{det}\left(M\right)\mathrm{det}\left(N\right)\mathrm{det}\left(P\right)$

Thus for our example we have:

$\begin{eqnarray*}\mathrm{det}\left(ABC\right) &=& \mathrm{det}\left(A\right)\times\mathrm{det}\left(B\right)\times\mathrm{det}\left(C\right)\\ &=& \var{dA}\times \var{dB} \times \var{dC}\\ &=& \var{dA*dB*dC} \end{eqnarray*}$

Inverse of a $2 \times 2$ matrix

Suppose $M$ is a $2 \times 2$ matrix and $\mathrm{det}\left(M\right) = \Delta \neq 0$ .

Then $M$ is invertible and:

$M = \begin{pmatrix} a & b \\ c&d \end{pmatrix} \Rightarrow M^{-1} = \frac{1}{\Delta} \begin{pmatrix} d & -b\\ -c& a \end{pmatrix}=\begin{pmatrix} \frac{d}{\Delta} & -\frac{b}{\Delta}\\ -\frac{c}{\Delta}& \frac{a}{\Delta} \end{pmatrix}$

Applying this to these examples we obtain:

b)

$A^{-1} = \begin{pmatrix} \simplify[std]{{a22}/{dA}} &\simplify[std]{{-a12}/{dA}}\\\simplify[std]{{-a21}/{dA}}&\simplify[std]{{a11}/{dA}}\end{pmatrix}$

c)

$B^{-1} = \begin{pmatrix} \simplify[std]{{b22}/{dB}} &\simplify[std]{{-b12}/{dB}}\\\simplify[std]{{-b21}/{dB}}&\simplify[std]{{b11}/{dB}}\end{pmatrix}$

d)

$C^{-1} = \begin{pmatrix} \simplify[std]{{c22}/{dC}} &\simplify[std]{{-c12}/{dC}}\\\simplify[std]{{-c21}/{dC}}&\simplify[std]{{c11}/{dC}}\end{pmatrix}$
