Find the Inverse [[5,3],[8,5]]

$[\begin{array}{c} 5 & 3 \\ 8 & 5 \end{array}]$

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

$5 \cdot 5 - 8 \cdot 3$

Simplify the determinant.

Simplify each term.

Multiply $5$ by $5$ .

$25 - 8 \cdot 3$

Multiply $- 8$ by $3$ .

$25 - 24$

Subtract $24$ from $25$ .

$1$

Step 3

Substitute the known values into the formula for the inverse.

$\frac{1}{1} [\begin{array}{c} 5 & - 3 \\ - 8 & 5 \end{array}]$

Step 4

Divide $1$ by $1$ .

$1 [\begin{array}{c} 5 & - 3 \\ - 8 & 5 \end{array}]$

Step 5

Multiply $1$ by each element of the matrix.

$[\begin{array}{c} 1 \cdot 5 & 1 \cdot - 3 \\ 1 \cdot - 8 & 1 \cdot 5 \end{array}]$

Step 6

Simplify each element in the matrix.

Multiply $5$ by $1$ .

$[\begin{array}{c} 5 & 1 \cdot - 3 \\ 1 \cdot - 8 & 1 \cdot 5 \end{array}]$

Multiply $- 3$ by $1$ .

$[\begin{array}{c} 5 & - 3 \\ 1 \cdot - 8 & 1 \cdot 5 \end{array}]$

Multiply $- 8$ by $1$ .

$[\begin{array}{c} 5 & - 3 \\ - 8 & 1 \cdot 5 \end{array}]$

Multiply $5$ by $1$ .

$[\begin{array}{c} 5 & - 3 \\ - 8 & 5 \end{array}]$
