Q. Consider this matrix:\newline[7911] \left[\begin{array}{ll} 7 & 9 \\ 1 & 1 \end{array}\right] \newlineFind the inverse of the matrix. Give exact values. Non-integers can be given as decimals or as simplified fractions.
  1. Correct Matrix Format: First, we need to correct the matrix format because it seems there is a missing row. A 2×22 \times 2 matrix should have four elements. Assuming the missing row is meant to be the second row and it should have two elements, let's denote them as 'aa' and 'bb'. So the matrix is:\newline[79 ab]\begin{bmatrix} 7 & 9 \ a & b \end{bmatrix}\newlineTo find the inverse of a 2×22 \times 2 matrix, we use the formula:\newlineInverse(A)=1det(A)×adj(A)\text{Inverse}(A) = \frac{1}{\text{det}(A)} \times \text{adj}(A)\newlinewhere det(A)\text{det}(A) is the determinant of matrix AA and adj(A)\text{adj}(A) is the adjugate of matrix AA.
  2. Find Determinant: First, we need to find the determinant of the matrix. The determinant of a 2×22 \times 2 matrix [ab cd]\left[\begin{array}{cc} a & b \ c & d \end{array}\right] is calculated as adbcad - bc. For our matrix, the determinant is:\newlinedet(A)=7b9a\text{det}(A) = 7b - 9a\newlineHowever, since we do not have the values for a'a' and b'b', we cannot proceed further without additional information.
