Class 12 Maths · Determinants · Short Answer #90

For A=\(\begin{bmatrix}2 & 3\\5 & -2\end{bmatrix}\), prove A⁻¹=A/19.

✅ Step-by-Step Solution

Final Answer: A⁻¹=A/19
  1. Compute A²=[[4+15,6−6],[10−10,15+4]]=19I₂.
  2. Therefore A(A/19)=(A/19)A=I₂, exhibiting a two-sided inverse.
  3. Thus A⁻¹=A/19.

📋 CBSE Stepwise Marking Scheme

  • [0.5 marks] Compute A²=[[4+15,6−6],[10−10,15+4]]=19I₂.
  • [1 mark] Therefore A(A/19)=(A/19)A=I₂, exhibiting a two-sided inverse.
  • [0.5 marks] Thus A⁻¹=A/19.
