(a)

\n

The equations can be written in the matrix form

\n

\\[ \\var{ma}\\begin{pmatrix} x \\\\ y \\end{pmatrix} = \\var{mb} \\]

\n

(b)

\n

$\\mathrm{det}(\\mathbf{A}) = \\simplify[]{ {ma[0][0]}*{ma[1][1]} - {ma[0][1]}*{ma[1][0]}} = \\var{det(ma)} \\neq 0$, so $\\mathbf{A}$ is invertible.

\n

\\[ \\mathbf{A}^{-1} = \\frac{1}{\\var{det(ma)}} \\begin{pmatrix} \\var{ma[1][1]}&\\var{-ma[0][1]} \\\\ \\var{-ma[1][0]}&\\var{ma[0][0]} \\end{pmatrix}  = \\simplify[fractionnumbers]{{ma_inverse}} \\]

\n

(c)

\n

We have 

\n

\\begin{align}
\\mathbf{A}^{-1}\\mathbf{b} &= \\simplify[fractionnumbers]{{ma_inverse}*{mb}} \\\\
&= \\simplify[fractionnumbers]{{ma_inverse*mb}}
\\end{align}

\n

(d)

\n

Given the equation $\\mathbf{Av}=\\mathbf{b}$ we can make $\\mathbf{v}$ the subject by pre-multiplying each side by $\\mathbf{A}^{-1}$:

\n

\\begin{align}
\\mathbf{A}^{-1}\\mathbf{A}\\mathbf{v} &= \\mathbf{A}^{-1}\\mathbf{b} \\\\
\\mathbf{v} &= \\mathbf{A}^{-1}\\mathbf{b} \\\\ \\\\
\\end{align}

\n

Hence,

\n

\\[ \\begin{pmatrix} x \\\\ y \\end{pmatrix} = \\simplify[fractionnumbers]{{ma_inverse*mb}} \\]

\n

That is,

\n

\\begin{align}
x &= \\simplify[fractionnumbers]{{x}}, \\\\ \\\\
y &= \\simplify[fractionnumbers]{{y}}
\\end{align}
