Question 16

Multiple Choice

Compute the determinant of the matrix. If the determinant is nonzero, use the formula for inverting a 2×22 \times 2 matrix to calculate the inverse of the given matrix. [1221]\left[ \begin{array} { c c } 1 & 2 \\2 & - 1\end{array} \right]


A) -5; [15252515]\left[ \begin{array} { c c } \frac { 1 } { 5 } & \frac { 2 } { 5 } \\\frac { 2 } { 5 } & - \frac { 1 } { 5 }\end{array} \right]

B) -10; [15252515]\left[ \begin{array} { l l } \frac { 1 } { 5 } & \frac { 2 } { 5 } \\\frac { 2 } { 5 } & \frac { 1 } { 5 }\end{array} \right]

C) 5; [15252515\left[ \begin{array} { l } - \frac { 1 } { 5 } - \frac { 2 } { 5 } \\- \frac { 2 } { 5 } \quad \frac { 1 } { 5 }\end{array} \right.

D) -4; [15252515\left[ \begin{array} { l } - \frac { 1 } { 5 } - \frac { 2 } { 5 } \\- \frac { 2 } { 5 } \quad \frac { 1 } { 5 }\end{array} \right.

E) -10; [15252515]\left[ \begin{array} { c c } \frac { 1 } { 5 } & \frac { 2 } { 5 } \\\frac { 2 } { 5 } & - \frac { 1 } { 5 }\end{array} \right]
