The problem presented in the image asks to define a matrix \( A = \begin{pmatrix} a & b \\ c & d \end{pmatrix} \) and to find the value of \( a \) such that a given equation holds.

The equation provided is:
\[ (I - \begin{pmatrix} \frac{1}{2} & 0 \\ 0 & 0 \end{pmatrix})^{-1} \cdot \text{det}(I - A) \]

Here is the breakdown:

- \( A = \begin{pmatrix} a & b \\ c & d \end{pmatrix} \)
- The given matrix inside the determinant is \( I - A \), where \( I \) is the identity matrix:
  \[
  I = \begin{pmatrix} 1 & 0 \\ 0 & 1 \end{pmatrix}
  \]
  So, \( I - A = \begin{pmatrix} 1-a & -b \\ -c & 1-d \end{pmatrix} \).

To solve, follow these steps:
1. Calculate the determinant of \( I - A \).
2. Apply the inverse matrix \( (I - \begin{pmatrix} \frac{1}{2} & 0 \\ 0 & 0 \end{pmatrix})^{-1} \).

Would you like me to proceed with the detailed solution for finding \( a \)?

Define a matrix A = [[a, b], [c, d]] and find the value of a such that a given equation holds.

Solve the problem of finding the value of 'a' in matrix A = [[a, b], [c, d]] by calculating the determinant and applying inverse matrices. This problem involves key concepts like matrix operations, determinant properties, and matrix inversion.
