Questions
Question 1
**
Find the inverse of \(\begin{pmatrix}2&0\\0&5\end{pmatrix}\).
Question 2
***
Use the \(2\times 2\) formula to find the inverse of \(\begin{pmatrix}1&2\\3&4\end{pmatrix}\).
Question 3
**+
Use the \(2\times 2\) formula to decide whether \(\begin{pmatrix}2&6\\1&3\end{pmatrix}\) has an inverse.
Question 4
**
Set up the augmented matrix used to find the inverse of \(A=\begin{pmatrix}1&2\\3&4\end{pmatrix}\) by row reduction.
Question 5
***+
Complete the inverse computation: \(\begin{pmatrix}1&2&1&0\\0&-2&-3&1\end{pmatrix}\) is obtained while reducing [A | I]. Continue to find \(A^{-1}\).
Question 6
***
Verify that \(\begin{pmatrix}0&1\\1&0\end{pmatrix}\) is its own inverse.
Question 7
***
Find all real t such that \(\begin{pmatrix}t&1\\2&1\end{pmatrix}\) has an inverse.
Question 8
***
Use \(A^{-1}\) = \(\begin{pmatrix}1&-2\\0&1\end{pmatrix}\) to solve Ax = \(\begin{pmatrix}3\\5\end{pmatrix}\).
Question 9
***+
A row reduction of [A | I] produces \(\begin{pmatrix}1&0&2&-1\\0&0&3&4\end{pmatrix}\). Explain why A has no inverse.
Question 10
****
A learner tries to find the inverse of a \(2\times 3\) matrix by augmenting it with \(I_2\). Diagnose the error.
