Inverse of the matrix $\left[\begin{array}{cc}0.8 & -0.6 \\ 0.6 & 0.8\end{array}\right]$ is

Inverse of the matrix $\left[\begin{array}{cc}0.8 & -0.6 \\ 0.6 & 0.8\end{array}\right]$ is
  1. $\left[\begin{array}{cc}0.8 & 0.6 \\ -0.6 & 0.8\end{array}\right]$
  2. $\left[\begin{array}{ll}-0.8 & 0.6 \\ -0.6 & 0.8\end{array}\right]$
  3. $\left[\begin{array}{cc}-0.8 & -0.6 \\ 0.6 & 0.8\end{array}\right]$
  4. $\left[\begin{array}{cc}8 & -6 \\ 6 & 8\end{array}\right]$

Solution

$\begin{array}{rlrl} & \text { Let } A=\left[\begin{array}{cc}0.8 & -0.6 \\ 0.6 & 0.8\end{array}\right] \\ & \therefore & |\mathrm{A}| & =\left|\begin{array}{cc}0.8 & -0.6 \\ 0.6 & 0.8\end{array}\right| \\ & & =0.64+0.36 \\ & =1 \neq 0 \\ \therefore & \quad & A^{-1} & =\left[\begin{array}{cc}0.8 & 0.6 \\ -0.6 & 0.8\end{array}\right]\end{array}$
