Inverse matrix by row reduction

[zuby]

Hi,
Can anyone help me to inverse the below matrix by row reduction method.
I know determinant method but I don't know row reduction method please help me.

4 5
-2 6

thanks.

You need to set up an augmented matrix with the identity matrix next to it, then go through a series of row operations until the matrix on the left becomes the identity matrix...

Hello,
here you got some exemple as you can see you can do it in Two way! (Look at second exemple) Mathwords: Inverse of a Matrix
Remember to always check your soultion! When you find your inverse and multiply by the non inverse Then you should get unit matrix! ( the one with 1 on diagonal and zero at rest!) With other words

$$AA^{-1}=I$$ some use I or E for unit matrix but that I is unit matrix!

Regards,
$$|\pi\rangle$$

Thanks for quick response.
I checked the site that you sent and understood row reduction method but that was easy. When I calculate the matrix values that I posted in previous. it will not give the same result that I have in my book here is my above matrix solution from my book. there is confusion below the image at red circled area how (17/2) is calculated by the book author.

Hi zuby! Welcome to MHB! :)

Where is the confusion?

The 17/2 is calculated from:
$$R_2'=R_2+2R_1'$$
$$6 + 2 \cdot \frac 5 4 = \frac{12}{2} + \frac 5 2 = \frac{17}{2}$$

Please help me thanks

what they did is that they did multiply 2 to R1 and add to R2. It is exactly what they mean with $$R_2'=R_2+2R_1'$$
$$\frac{2*5}{4}+6=\frac{17}{2}$$
does that make it clear for you?

Edit: I like Serena was faster

When I calculate it says 16 over 4. Where am I making mistake?

$$\frac{2*5}{4}+6$$

$$\frac{10}{4}+\frac{6}{1}=\frac{10}{4}+\frac{6}{4}=\frac{16}{4}$$

$$\frac{10}{4}+\frac{6}{1}=\frac{10}{4}+\frac{6}{4}=\frac{16}{4}$$

$$\frac{6}{1} \ne \frac{6}{4}$$
This should be:
$$\frac{6}{1} = \frac{24}{4}$$

 

[zuby]

$$\frac{6}{1} \ne \frac{6}{4}$$
This should be:
$$\frac{6}{1} = \frac{24}{4}$$

Oh I was not multiplying 4 by numerator 6.

Under of thanks.
