Description

Matrix A. a10 is picked so it's non-singular, and a11 is never $\pm a01$ .

No entry is 0.

Describe what this variable represents, and list any assumptions made about its value.

Can an exam override the value of this variable?

Generated value: `matrix`

matrix([-2,-1],[7,-9])

← Depends on:

This variable doesn't seem to be used anywhere.

Ask the student a question, and give any hints about how they should answer this part.

Find the inverse of $\mathbf{A}$ .

$\mathbf{A}^{-1} =$ Unnamed gap

Advice

The inverse of the 2x2 matrix $\mathbf{A} = \left ( \begin{matrix}a&b\\c&d \end{matrix} \right )$ is given by

$\mathbf{A}^{-1} = \frac{1}{\det(\mathbf{A})} \left ( \begin{matrix} d&-b\\-c&a \end{matrix} \right )$ .

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

$\mathbf{A}^{-1} = \simplify[fractionnumbers]{{ma_inverse}}$
