To determine whether the matrix
is singular or nonsingular, we need to calculate its determinant. If the determinant is nonzero, then the matrix is nonsingular and has an inverse. If the determinant is zero, then the matrix is singular and does not have an inverse.The matrix
is given by:
The determinant of
is calculated as follows:
Since the determinant of
is
, which is nonzero, the matrix
is nonsingular and has an inverse.To find the inverse of
, we use the formula for the inverse of a 2x2 matrix:
For the matrix
, the elements are:
Substituting these values into the formula, we get:
Therefore, the inverse of
is:
So, the correct description of
is:
And the inverse of
is:
