The inverse of the matrix with rows (2, 1) and (1, 1) is the matrix with rows

  • A.(1, 1) and (1, 2)
  • B.(2, -1) and (-1, 1)
  • C.(0.5, 1) and (1, 1)
  • D.(1, -1) and (-1, 2)

Answer: D

The determinant is \( (2)(1)-(1)(1)=1 \), so the inverse is the adjoint itself:

\[ A^{-1} = \frac{1}{\det A}\begin{pmatrix} d & -b \\ -c & a \end{pmatrix} = \frac{1}{1}\begin{pmatrix} 1 & -1 \\ -1 & 2 \end{pmatrix} \]

Checking:

\[ \begin{pmatrix} 2 & 1 \\ 1 & 1 \end{pmatrix}\begin{pmatrix} 1 & -1 \\ -1 & 2 \end{pmatrix} = \begin{pmatrix} 1 & 0 \\ 0 & 1 \end{pmatrix} \]
