Class 12 Maths · Determinants · Short Answer #52

For A=\(\begin{bmatrix}2 & -3\\-4 & 7\end{bmatrix}\), compute A⁻¹ and show 2A⁻¹=9I−A.

✅ Step-by-Step Solution

Final Answer: A⁻¹=(1/2)[[7,3],[4,2]]; 2A⁻¹=9I−A.
  1. det(A)=14−12=2 and adj(A)=[[7,3],[4,2]].
  2. Thus A⁻¹=(1/2)[[7,3],[4,2]], while 9I−A=[[9−2,3],[4,9−7]]=[[7,3],[4,2]].
  3. The two calculations give 2A⁻¹=9I−A, as required.

📋 CBSE Stepwise Marking Scheme

  • [0.5 marks] det(A)=14−12=2 and adj(A)=[[7,3],[4,2]].
  • [1 mark] Thus A⁻¹=(1/2)[[7,3],[4,2]], while 9I−A=[[9−2,3],[4,9−7]]=[[7,3],[4,2]].
  • [0.5 marks] The two calculations give 2A⁻¹=9I−A, as required.
