Then distribute the -2 to each element in the matrix to get A1=[84 62]

Steps

Step 1 :To find the inverse of a 2x2 matrix A=[ab cd], we can use the formula A1=1adbc[db ca]

Step 2 :Substitute the values into the formula, we get A1=1(1)(4)(2)(3)[42 31]

Step 3 :Simplify the fraction to get A1=2[42 31]

Step 4 :Then distribute the -2 to each element in the matrix to get A1=[84 62]
