TOPIC 01

Matrices, determinants and linear systems

Add and multiply matrices, use determinants and solve systems without assuming invertibility.

Add and multiply matrices, use determinants and solve systems without assuming invertibility.
Justify the method and check the conditions in a new situation.

Use one hint at a time. A correction explains what changed, not just the final answer.

01 / Standard#Your turn

A=\begin{pmatrix}1&9\\0&1\end{pmatrix}

Matrix products require matched inner dimensions; a square matrix has an inverse only if its determinant is nonzero.

Skills and prerequisite lessons

Working and explanation

BUILD THE REASONING

Hint 1

Write the defining equation, retain exclusions, and then solve or compare.

Hint 2

Use the triangular inverse and verify AA^{-1}=I.

Worked solution

Write the defining equation, retain exclusions, and then solve or compare.
Apply the stated relation and retain its conditions.
$\begin{pmatrix}1&9\\0&1\end{pmatrix}\begin{pmatrix}1&-9\\0&1\end{pmatrix}=I$
An explicit product verifies the inverse without relying on a memorized sign pattern.

The requested relation or conclusion is shown below.

A^{-1}=\begin{pmatrix}1&-9\\0&1\end{pmatrix}

Checks and common pitfalls: An explicit product verifies the inverse without relying on a memorized sign pattern.
