How do you know if two matrices are inverses?

Their product equals the identity matrix.

100

Identify element a23 from A =

What is a23 = 2

100

What do you know about the dimensions of two matrices that have been added together? 

The dimensions are the same!

100

Find the mistake in their steps to find the determinant, and then say what the correct answer should have been:

[5    3

-1    2]


(5*2) + (3*-1)

(10) + (-3)

=7

They added the two products together instead of subtracting. The correct answer should be 

10 - -3 = 13
