Matrices Help please

OpenStudy (darkbluechocobo):

OpenStudy (darkbluechocobo):

I was thinking A

OpenStudy (gorv):

last one

OpenStudy (gorv):

multiply matrix by 6

OpenStudy (darkbluechocobo):

But don't they have to flip?

OpenStudy (gorv):

after that u neeed to do so

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[A = \left[\begin{matrix}a & b \\ c& d\end{matrix}\right]\]\[A^{-1} = \frac{ 1 }{ det(A) }\left[\begin{matrix}d & -b \\ -c & a\end{matrix}\right]\]\[\det(A) = ad - bc\]

OpenStudy (gorv):

i thought u will do the remain

OpenStudy (gorv):

@Euler271 right approch....but in 2 by 2 matrix we can find inverse without this

OpenStudy (anonymous):

um. no you can't..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what you're probably doing is THAT but in your head

OpenStudy (darkbluechocobo):

alright i got for the first step 3 0 1 2

OpenStudy (gorv):

@Euler271 leave it .....solve by ur method

OpenStudy (darkbluechocobo):

would you flip it diagonally?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

teach a man to fish.. @gorv ...

OpenStudy (gorv):

yep

OpenStudy (gorv):

ok in 2 by 2

OpenStudy (gorv):

we interchange the first diagonal element

OpenStudy (gorv):

and multiply second diagonal element by -1 thats it buddy @Euler271

OpenStudy (gorv):

try this on asked Q

OpenStudy (gorv):

after muiltiplicatoin with 6

OpenStudy (gorv):

heheheheheehehehehehhehehehehehehehehhheheeheh

OpenStudy (darkbluechocobo):

so would it be the 1st one?

OpenStudy (gorv):

\[\left[\begin{matrix}2 & 0 \\ -1 & 3\end{matrix}\right]\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

only reason you multiply by 6 is because 1/detA = 6. such a kupo nut...

OpenStudy (darkbluechocobo):

why doesn't the zero flip

OpenStudy (gorv):

now interchange 2 and 3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@DarkBlueChocobo if you reall wanna learn. look at what i wrote.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you don't always have multiple choice..... @gorv ...

OpenStudy (gorv):

and multiply other diagonal by -1

OpenStudy (gorv):

\[\left[\begin{matrix}3 & 0 \\ 1 & 3\end{matrix}\right]\]

OpenStudy (darkbluechocobo):

again but why doesn't the zero move?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

because it is not part of the matrix's main diagonal which goes from top left to bottom right

OpenStudy (darkbluechocobo):

oh ok thank you

OpenStudy (anonymous):

kweh! :)
