Section 4.5 2 x 2 Matrices, Determinants, and Inverses
Evaluating Determinants of 2 x 2 Matrices • Definition 1: A square matrix is a matrix with the same number of columns and rows. • Definition 2: For an nxn square matrix, the multiplicative identity matrix is an nxn square matrix I, or In, with 1’s along the main diagonal and 0’s elsewhere.
Evaluating Determinants of 2 x 2 Matrices • Definition 3: If A and X are n x n matrices, and AX = XA = I, then X is the multiplicative inverse of A, written A-1.
Example 1 • Show that the matrices are multiplicative inverses.
Example 2 • Show that the matrices are multiplicative inverses.
Determinant of a 2 x 2 Matrix • Definition 4: The determinant of a 2 x 2 matrix is ad – bc.
Symbols for the Determinant detA = = ad - bc
Example 3 • Evaluate each determinant.
Example 4 • Evaluate each determinant.
Example 5 • Evaluate each determinant.
TOTD • Evaluate the determinant. • Does this matrix have an inverse?
Property: Inverse of a 2 x 2 Matrix • Let . If det A = 0, then A has no inverse. • If det A ≠ 0, then
Example 6 • Determine whether each matrix has an inverse. If an inverse matrix exists, find it.
Example 7 • Determine whether each matrix has an inverse. If an inverse matrix exists, find it.
TOTD • Determine whether each matrix has an inverse. If an inverse matrix exists, find it.
4.5 Review • Determinant = detA = = ad – bc • If detA 0, then: OR… in calculator: [A]-1
Using Inverse Matrices to Solve Equations AX = B A-1(AX) = A-1B (A-1A)X = A-1B IX = A-1B X = A-1B
Example 8 • Solve each matrix equation in the form AX = B.
Example 9 • Solve each matrix equation in the form AX = B.
Example 10 • Communications The diagram shows the trends in cell phone ownership over four consecutive years. • Write a matrix to represent the changes in cell phone use. • In a stable population of 16,000 people, 9927 own cell phones, while 6073 do not. Assume the trends continue. Predict the number of people who will own cell phones next year. • Use the inverse of the matrix from part (a) to find the number of people who owned cell phones last year.
TOTD • Solve the matrix equation in the form of AX=B.
