Find the Inverse [[1,7],[0,0]]

$[\begin{array}{c} 1 & 7 \\ 0 & 0 \end{array}]$

The inverse of a $2 \times 2$ matrix can be found using the formula $\frac{1}{| A |} [\begin{array}{c} d & - b \\ - c & a \end{array}]$ where $| A |$ is the determinant of $A$ .

If $A = [\begin{array}{c} a & b \\ c & d \end{array}]$ then $A^{- 1} = \frac{1}{| A |} [\begin{array}{c} d & - b \\ - c & a \end{array}]$

Find the determinant of $[\begin{array}{c} 1 & 7 \\ 0 & 0 \end{array}]$ .

These are both valid notations for the determinant of a matrix.

$determinant [\begin{array}{c} 1 & 7 \\ 0 & 0 \end{array}] = | \begin{array}{c} 1 & 7 \\ 0 & 0 \end{array} |$

The determinant of a $2 \times 2$ matrix can be found using the formula $| \begin{array}{c} a & b \\ c & d \end{array} | = a d - c b$ .

$(1) (0) + 0 \cdot 7$

Simplify the determinant.

Simplify each term.

Multiply $0$ by $1$ .

$0 + 0 \cdot 7$

Multiply $0$ by $7$ .

$0 + 0$

Add $0$ and $0$ .

$0$

Substitute the known values into the formula for the inverse of a matrix.

$\frac{1}{0} [\begin{array}{c} 0 & - (7) \\ - (0) & 1 \end{array}]$

Simplify each element in the matrix.

Rearrange $- (7)$ .

$\frac{1}{0} [\begin{array}{c} 0 & - 7 \\ - (0) & 1 \end{array}]$

Rearrange $- (0)$ .

$\frac{1}{0} [\begin{array}{c} 0 & - 7 \\ 0 & 1 \end{array}]$

Multiply $\frac{1}{0}$ by each element of the matrix.

$[\begin{array}{c} \frac{1}{0} \cdot 0 & \frac{1}{0} \cdot - 7 \\ \frac{1}{0} \cdot 0 & \frac{1}{0} \cdot 1 \end{array}]$

Rearrange $\frac{1}{0} \cdot 0$ .

$[\begin{array}{c} Undefined & \frac{1}{0} \cdot - 7 \\ \frac{1}{0} \cdot 0 & \frac{1}{0} \cdot 1 \end{array}]$

Since the matrix is undefined, it cannot be solved.

Undefined
