2x2 matrixes have a nice visual method: a b inverts to d -b divide byt he determinant c d -c a

OpenStudy (amistre64):

swap two corners, negate the other corners; divide byt he determinnt of the original matrix

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[A = \left[\begin{matrix}a & b \\ ? & d\end{matrix}\right]\]\[A^{-1} = \frac{ 1 }{ detA }\left[\begin{matrix}d & -b \\ -c & a\end{matrix}\right]\]

should be c instead of ? my c button is stuck or something

OpenStudy (darkbluechocobo):

I found it it was C

OpenStudy (darkbluechocobo):

I believe at least

OpenStudy (amistre64):

C is fine .. det = 8, and 6/8 is not an integer
