Question

Work out.

(a)\({\bigl(\begin{smallmatrix}
2 & 1 & \\
4& 3&
\end{smallmatrix}\bigr)}^2\)

(b)\({\bigl(\begin{smallmatrix}
2 & 1 & \\
4& 3&
\end{smallmatrix}\bigr)}^{-1}\)

Answer/Explanation

(a)  \({\bigl(\begin{smallmatrix}
2 & 1 & \\
4& 3&
\end{smallmatrix}\bigr)}^2\)

On multiplying ,we get, 

\(=\bigl(\begin{smallmatrix}
4+4& 2+3 & \\
8+12& 4+9&
\end{smallmatrix}\bigr)\)

\(=\bigl(\begin{smallmatrix}8& 5 & \\
20& 13&
\end{smallmatrix}\bigr)\)

(b) \({\bigl(\begin{smallmatrix}
2 & 1 & \\
4& 3&
\end{smallmatrix}\bigr)}^{-1}\)

\(A^{-1}=\frac{1}{|A|}\bigl(\begin{smallmatrix}2 & 1 & \\
4& 3&
\end{smallmatrix}\bigr)\)

|A|=\(a_4.a_1-a_2.a_3\)

|A|=6-4=2

Now , putting into equation, invrse :

\(A^{-1}=\frac{1}{2}\bigl(\begin{smallmatrix}3 & -1 & \\
-4& 2&
\end{smallmatrix}\bigr)\)(Interchanging places of\(a_1\) and \(a_4\)  and reversing signs of \(a_2\) and \(a_3)\)
