Result methodology

The certified engine applies the 2×2 inverse identity only when the determinant is non-zero.

Solution steps

det = ad - bc = 10
A⁻¹ = (1/10)[[6, -7],[-2, 4]]
A⁻¹ = [[0.6, -0.7],[-0.2, 0.4]]

How this calculator works

For A=[[a,b],[c,d]], A⁻¹=(1/(ad-bc))[[d,-b],[-c,a]] when ad-bc is non-zero.

Formula

A⁻¹=(1/(ad-bc))[[d,-b],[-c,a]]

Computes the inverse of a non-singular 2×2 matrix.

Worked example

Inverse of [[4,7],[2,6]] is a verified test case used by the calculation engine.

Assumptions and limitations

This certified version supports 2×2 matrices.
The matrix determinant must be non-zero.

Methodology & sources

This calculator uses deterministic, versioned calculation logic. The formula and verified examples above are part of the calculation definition used by CalcuMint.

Frequently asked questions

Can every 2×2 matrix be inverted?

No. A matrix with determinant zero is singular and has no inverse.

Is the determinant shown?

Yes. The determinant used by the inverse calculation is displayed.
