Find the Inverse [[3e^t,e^(2t)],[2e^t,2e^(2t)]]

Problem

[[3*et,e(2*t)],[2*et,2*e(2*t)]]

Solution

1. Identify the matrix A and the formula for the inverse of a 2×2 matrix.

A=[[a,b],[c,d]]

A(−1)=1/(a*d−b*c)*[[d,−b],[−c,a]]

2. Calculate the determinant det(A)=a*d−b*c

det(A)=(3*et)*(2*e(2*t))−(e(2*t))*(2*et)

det(A)=6*e(3*t)−2*e(3*t)

det(A)=4*e(3*t)

3. Construct the adjugate matrix by swapping the diagonal elements and changing the signs of the off-diagonal elements.

adj(A)=[[2*e(2*t),−e(2*t)],[−2*et,3*et]]

4. Multiply the adjugate matrix by the reciprocal of the determinant.

A(−1)=1/(4*e(3*t))*[[2*e(2*t),−e(2*t)],[−2*et,3*et]]

5. Simplify each term in the matrix by dividing by 4*e(3*t) using the laws of exponents.

(2*e(2*t))/(4*e(3*t))=1/(2*et)=1/2*e(−t)

(−e(2*t))/(4*e(3*t))=−1/(4*et)=−1/4*e(−t)

(−2*et)/(4*e(3*t))=−1/(2*e(2*t))=−1/2*e(−2*t)

(3*et)/(4*e(3*t))=3/(4*e(2*t))=3/4*e(−2*t)

Final Answer

[[3*et,e(2*t)],[2*et,2*e(2*t)]](−1)=[[1/2*e(−t),−1/4*e(−t)],[−1/2*e(−2*t),3/4*e(−2*t)]]
