Question:
If A = [[2, 3], [1, 2]], then A^{-1} is:
A. [[2, -3], [-1, 2]]
B. [[-2, 3], [1, -2]]
C. [[2, 3], [1, 2]]
D. [[-2, -3], [-1, -2]]
Step-by-Step Solution
Key Concept: For 2×2 matrix, A^{-1} = 1/det(A) [[d, -b], [-c, a]].
Step 1: det(A) = 2×2 - 3×1 = 1. Step 2: A^{-1} = [[2, -3], [-1, 2]].
Correct Answer: A
