Question 1

What is the formula for the inverse using the adjoint method?

  • A⁻¹ = adj(A)/det(A)
  • A⁻¹ = det(A)/adj(A)
  • A⁻¹ = A*adj(A)

💡 Hint: Recall the roles of adjugate and determinant.

Question 2

True or False: A singular matrix has an inverse.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Think about the determinant's role.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Given the matrix A = \( \begin{bmatrix} 2 & 4 \ 1 & 3 \end{bmatrix} \), find the inverse using both methods: adjoint and Gauss-Jordan.

💡 Hint: Calculate determinant first, for both methods.

Question 2

For a 4x4 matrix B, apply Gauss-Jordan elimination and find the inverse, showing each step explicitly. Consider B = \( \begin{bmatrix} 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 \ 0 & 1 & 0 & 0 \ 0 & 0 & 1 & 0 \ 0 & 0 & 0 & 1 \end{bmatrix} \).

💡 Hint: Use row swaps and scaling as necessary.
