Math Problem Statement

The matrix representation of TT is:

A=(2003)A=(20​03​)

To check if TT is invertible, we compute the determinant:

det⁡(A)=2⋅3−0⋅0=6≠0det(A)=2⋅3−0⋅0=6=0

Since det⁡(A)≠0det(A)=0, the transformation is invertible. The inverse matrix is:

A−1=(120013)A−1=(21​0​031​​)

Solution

Let's break down the given information and calculations:

Matrix Representation:

You have the matrix AA representing the transformation TT as:

A=(2003)A = \begin{pmatrix} 2 & 0 \\ 0 & 3 \end{pmatrix}

Determinant Calculation:

To check if the transformation TT is invertible, you compute the determinant of the matrix AA:

det(A)=(2×3)(0×0)=60\text{det}(A) = (2 \times 3) - (0 \times 0) = 6 \neq 0

Since the determinant is non-zero (det(A)=6\text{det}(A) = 6), the matrix AA is invertible.

Inverse Matrix:

The inverse of a 2x2 matrix A=(abcd)A = \begin{pmatrix} a & b \\ c & d \end{pmatrix} is given by:

A1=1det(A)(dbca)A^{-1} = \frac{1}{\text{det}(A)} \begin{pmatrix} d & -b \\ -c & a \end{pmatrix}

For the given matrix AA:

A1=16(3002)=(120013)A^{-1} = \frac{1}{6} \begin{pmatrix} 3 & 0 \\ 0 & 2 \end{pmatrix} = \begin{pmatrix} \frac{1}{2} & 0 \\ 0 & \frac{1}{3} \end{pmatrix}

So, the correct inverse matrix should be:

A1=(120013)=(0.5000.3333)A^{-1} = \begin{pmatrix} \frac{1}{2} & 0 \\ 0 & \frac{1}{3} \end{pmatrix} = \begin{pmatrix} 0.5 & 0 \\ 0 & 0.3333 \end{pmatrix}

However, in your text, you mentioned the inverse as:

A1=(1001)(2003)1A^{-1} = \begin{pmatrix} 1 & 0 \\ 0 & 1 \end{pmatrix} \begin{pmatrix} 2 & 0 \\ 0 & 3 \end{pmatrix}^{-1}

This part appears to be incorrect. The correct inverse matrix has already been provided above.

Conclusion:

The transformation TT is indeed invertible because the determinant of its matrix representation is non-zero, and the correct inverse matrix has been calculated.
