How do I find the inverse of a 3x3 matrix?

We start by finding the determinant of this matrix using the cofactor method (I.e for each entry in the matrix, cross out the row and column in which it resides and find the determinant of the matrix formed,...

Integrate f(x) = 1/(1-x^2)

1/(1-x 2 ) can be split into the partial fractions A/(1+x) + B/(1-x), where A and B are real constants, which when evaluated by multiplying the equation 1/(1-x 2 ) = A/(1+x) + B/(1-x) through by (1-x 2 ) = (...

Does the following matrix A = (2 2 // 3 9) (upper row then lower row) have an inverse? If the matrix A^2 is applied as a transformation to a triangle T, by what factor will the area of the triangle change under the transformation?

The answer to the first part is that the matrix does have an inverse. This is found by finding the determinant of the matrix from the formula a d - b c (for some matrix ( a b // c d ) ) to get the answer 2 9...
