Final answer:
To find the inverse of matrix A, use the formula (1/(ad - bc)) * [d -b -c a]. Simplifying the calculation yields a = b = c = 2/3 and d = 1/3.
Step-by-step explanation:
If you have matrix A = [1 1 -1 2], the inverse of A is A-1 = [a b c d], where a = b = c = ? To find the inverse of A, you can use the formula for a 2x2 matrix:
A-1 = (1/(ad - bc)) * [d -b -c a]
Applying this formula to matrix A, you get:
A-1 = (1/(1(2) - (1)(-1))) * [2 -1 1 1]
Simplifying the calculation further, you have:
A-1 = (1/3) * [2 -1 1 1]
Therefore, a = b = c = 2/3, and d = 1/3.
