Consider the 2by 2squre matrix

A=abcd

If D=ad-bc≠0, show that A is nonsingular and that

A−1=1Dd â¶Ä…â¶Ä…â¶Ä…−b−c â¶Ä…â¶Ä…â¶Ä…a

Short Answer

Expert verified

The matrix A is nonsingular.

Step by step solution

01

Step 1. Reduce the augmented matrix into its echelon form

We have the given matrix A=abcd

Let us reduce the augmented matrix A∣I2into its echelon form.

A=ab10cd01

Now perform the operation,R1=R12

→1ba1a0cd01

R2=R2-CR1

→1ba1a00ad−bca−ca1

R2=aR2ad−bc

→1ba1a001cbc−adaad−bc

R1=R1−bR2a

→10dad−bc−bad−bc01caad−bc

02

Step 2. Inverse of the matrix A

A−1=dad−bc−bad−bc−cad−bcaad−bc=1ad−bcd−b−ca

Here, let D=ad−bc≠0

Therefore, A−1=1Dd−b−ca

Hence, we have proved that matrix A is a non-singular matrix.
