Answer

Therefore, B=[1/31/21/62/3].

Steps

Step 1 :To find the matrix B, we need to solve the equation AB=I.

Step 2 :The identity matrix I is [1001].

Step 3 :Let B=[abcd]. Then, AB=[3a+4c3b+4d2a+3c2b+3d].

Step 4 :Setting this equal to the identity matrix gives us the system of equations {3a+4c=13b+4d=02a+3c=02b+3d=1.

Step 5 :Solving this system of equations gives a=1/3b=1/2c=1/6d=2/3.

Step 6 :Therefore, B=[1/31/21/62/3].
