Find the inverse of the matix, `A=[[2,-3],[-4,7]]`.

Answer» We have
`|A|=|(2,-3),(-4,7)|=(14-12)=2!=0`
So, `A_(1)` exists.
The cofactors of the elements of `|A|` are given by
`A_(11)=7,A_(12)=-(-4)=4,`
`A_(21)=-(-3)=3, A_(22)=2.`
`:." "(adj A)=[[7,4],[3,2]]=[[7,3],[4,2]].`
`Hence,A^(-1)=1/|A|.(adj A)`
`=1/2.[[7,3],[4,2]]=[[7/2,3/2],[2,1]]`
