Find the Inverse [[10,13],[13,17]]

$[\begin{array}{c} 10 & 13 \\ 13 & 17 \end{array}]$

Step 1

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

Step 2

Find the determinant.

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

$10 \cdot 17 - 13 \cdot 13$

Simplify the determinant.

Simplify each term.

Multiply $10$ by $17$ .

$170 - 13 \cdot 13$

Multiply $- 13$ by $13$ .

$170 - 169$

Subtract $169$ from $170$ .

$1$

Step 3

Substitute the known values into the formula for the inverse.

$\frac{1}{1} [\begin{array}{c} 17 & - 13 \\ - 13 & 10 \end{array}]$

Step 4

Divide $1$ by $1$ .

$1 [\begin{array}{c} 17 & - 13 \\ - 13 & 10 \end{array}]$

Step 5

Multiply $1$ by each element of the matrix.

$[\begin{array}{c} 1 \cdot 17 & 1 \cdot - 13 \\ 1 \cdot - 13 & 1 \cdot 10 \end{array}]$

Step 6

Simplify each element in the matrix.

Multiply $17$ by $1$ .

$[\begin{array}{c} 17 & 1 \cdot - 13 \\ 1 \cdot - 13 & 1 \cdot 10 \end{array}]$

Multiply $- 13$ by $1$ .

$[\begin{array}{c} 17 & - 13 \\ 1 \cdot - 13 & 1 \cdot 10 \end{array}]$

Multiply $- 13$ by $1$ .

$[\begin{array}{c} 17 & - 13 \\ - 13 & 1 \cdot 10 \end{array}]$

Multiply $10$ by $1$ .

$[\begin{array}{c} 17 & - 13 \\ - 13 & 10 \end{array}]$
