Intro

Deriving and applying the inverse matrix formula to solve a 2x2 linear system

Ex.1

Solving a 2x2 linear system using the inverse matrix method

Computing the inverse matrix and multiplying to solve for x and y

Computing the inverse matrix and multiplying to find x and y

Identifying when a 2x2 inverse matrix does not exist

Solving a linear system with variable entries using inverse matrices

Now that we learned how to solve linear systems with <a href='[[glossary.html|{"keyword":"Gaussian Elimination"}]]'>Gaussian Elimination</a> and Cramer's Rule, we are going to use a different method. This method involves using 2 x 2 inverse matrices. To solve the linear system, we find the inverse of the 2 x 2 coefficient matrix (by using either row matrix operation or the formula) and multiply it with the answer column. Multiplying them would result in a column matrix, and the entries in the column matrix will give you a unique solution to the linear system.
