Which of the following matrices are invertible or singular F
Which of the following matrices are invertible or singular? Find the inverse of those that are invertible.
a)
b)
c)
d)
NOTE: These are matrices. I did not know how to get the bracket so I but the entries in a table. Part a is 2x2 b) is 2x2 c) is 3 x3 and d) is 3x3
| -2 3/2 | |
| 1 -1/2 | 
Solution
step 1:
 find determinant of matrix
 If determinant = 0, matrix is singular.Inverse will not exist
 If determinant !=0, inverse exist
a)
 det of
 -2 2/3
 1 -1/2
= (-2)*(-1/2) - (1)*2/3
 = 1 - 2/3
 =1/3
 which is non zero. Hence invese exist
 Inverse is
 =1/det * -1/2 -2/3
 -1 -2
 = -1/6 -2/9
 -1/3 -2/3
b)
 det of
 1 -2
 3 6
 = 1*6 - (-2)*3
 = 12
inverse =
 1/12 * 6 2
 -3 1
 = 1/2 1/6
 -1/4 1/12
Please do rest by yourself. I am allowed to answer only 1 question at a time
