Find the Inverse [[3,5],[2,3]]

$[\begin{array}{c} 3 & 5 \\ 2 & 3 \end{array}]$

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 $| \begin{array}{c} a & b \\ c & d \end{array} | = a d - c b$ .

$3 \cdot 3 - 2 \cdot 5$

Simplify the determinant.

Simplify each term.

Multiply $3$ by $3$ .

$9 - 2 \cdot 5$

Multiply $- 2$ by $5$ .

$9 - 10$

Subtract $10$ from $9$ .

$- 1$

Step 3

Substitute the known values into the formula for the inverse.

$\frac{1}{- 1} [\begin{array}{c} 3 & - 5 \\ - 2 & 3 \end{array}]$

Step 4

Divide $1$ by $- 1$ .

$- [\begin{array}{c} 3 & - 5 \\ - 2 & 3 \end{array}]$

Step 5

Multiply $- 1$ by each element of the matrix.

$[\begin{array}{c} - 1 \cdot 3 & - - 5 \\ - - 2 & - 1 \cdot 3 \end{array}]$

Step 6

Simplify each element in the matrix.

Multiply $- 1$ by $3$ .

$[\begin{array}{c} - 3 & - - 5 \\ - - 2 & - 1 \cdot 3 \end{array}]$

Multiply $- 1$ by $- 5$ .

$[\begin{array}{c} - 3 & 5 \\ - - 2 & - 1 \cdot 3 \end{array}]$

Multiply $- 1$ by $- 2$ .

$[\begin{array}{c} - 3 & 5 \\ 2 & - 1 \cdot 3 \end{array}]$

Multiply $- 1$ by $3$ .

$[\begin{array}{c} - 3 & 5 \\ 2 & - 3 \end{array}]$
