x

now we call this matrix A

using what we learned from the previous groups we’ll try to find the inverse of A

1A

first we get the determinant of A

11

01

which is (1 * 1) – (0 * -1) = 1

then divide 1 by the determinant

1

now we multiply it with the adjoint of this matrix, which is:

11

01

then we multiply the inverse to both sides of the equation

final answer:

We multiply matrix Awith the inverse of A to get an identity matrix

Multiplying x and yto an identity matrix will still give x and y

now what is this?

with the graph we draw a parallelogram we draw a diagonal line

through the parallelogram

you’ll notice that the diagonal line ends at the given

if you got this right then then you already found x and y such that the vector (2, 3) is a linear combination of the form (2, 3) = x(1, -1) + y(0, 1)

now we call this matrix B

using what we learned from the previous groups we’ll try to find the inverse of B

first we get the determinant of B
