Short Answer

Expert verified

The inverse of the matrix is $[\begin{matrix} 1 & 3 \\ 鈭� \frac{2}{3} & 2 \end{matrix}]$

Step by step solution

- Define inverse of a matrix.

For the matrix A ,

$A = [\begin{matrix} a & b \\ c & d \end{matrix}]$

The inverse of matrix of the matrix A is: $A^{鈭� 1} = \frac{1}{a d 鈭� b c} [\begin{matrix} d & 鈭� b \\ 鈭� c & a \end{matrix}]$

where $a d 鈭� b c 鈮� 0$ . $a d 鈭� b c$ is the determinant of thematrix A .

If $a d 鈭� b c = 0$ , the inverse of a matrix doesn not exist.

- Calculate the inverse.

Let A be the matrix $[\begin{matrix} \frac{1}{2} & 鈭� \frac{3}{4} \\ \frac{1}{6} & \frac{1}{4} \end{matrix}]$

That is, $A = [\begin{matrix} \frac{1}{2} & 鈭� \frac{3}{4} \\ \frac{1}{6} & \frac{1}{4} \end{matrix}]$

Comparing with the standard form $A = [\begin{matrix} a & b \\ c & d \end{matrix}]$ $a = \frac{1}{2}, b = 鈭� \frac{3}{4}, c = \frac{1}{6}, d = \frac{1}{4}$

Then, $A^{鈭� 1}$ is:

$\begin{matrix} A^{鈭� 1} = \frac{1}{a d 鈭� b c} [\begin{matrix} d & 鈭� b \\ 鈭� c & a \end{matrix}] \\ = \frac{1}{(\frac{1}{2} 脳 \frac{1}{4}) 鈭� (鈭� \frac{3}{4} 脳 \frac{1}{6})} [\begin{matrix} \frac{1}{4} & 鈭� (鈭� \frac{3}{4}) \\ 鈭� \frac{1}{6} & \frac{1}{2} \end{matrix}] \\ = \frac{1}{\frac{1}{8} + \frac{3}{24}} [\begin{matrix} \frac{1}{4} & \frac{3}{4} \\ 鈭� \frac{1}{6} & \frac{1}{2} \end{matrix}] \end{matrix}$

Here,

$\begin{matrix} a d 鈭� b c = \frac{1}{8} + \frac{3}{24} \\ = \frac{3 + 3}{24} \\ = \frac{6}{24} \\ = \frac{1}{4} \end{matrix}$

As $a d 鈭� b c 鈮� 0$ here, inverse exist.

Then, $A^{鈭� 1}$ is:

$\begin{matrix} A^{鈭� 1} = \frac{1}{\frac{1}{4}} [\begin{matrix} \frac{1}{4} & \frac{3}{4} \\ 鈭� \frac{1}{6} & \frac{1}{2} \end{matrix}] \\ = 4 [\begin{matrix} \frac{1}{4} & \frac{3}{4} \\ 鈭� \frac{1}{6} & \frac{1}{2} \end{matrix}] \\ = [\begin{matrix} \frac{1}{4} 脳 4 & \frac{3}{4} 脳 4 \\ 鈭� \frac{1}{6} 脳 4 & \frac{1}{2} 脳 4 \end{matrix}] \\ = [\begin{matrix} 1 & 3 \\ 鈭� \frac{2}{3} & 2 \end{matrix}] \end{matrix}$

- State the conclusion.

Therefore, the inverse of the matrix $[\begin{matrix} \frac{1}{2} & 鈭� \frac{3}{4} \\ \frac{1}{6} & \frac{1}{4} \end{matrix}]$ is $[\begin{matrix} 1 & 3 \\ 鈭� \frac{2}{3} & 2 \end{matrix}]$
