    (b) Find the value of b such that the matrix A= [ b−2 1


    −5 b +4 ]
    is invertible.

    SOL: we need to find b such that det ⁡( A)≠ 0, that is


    ( b−2 ) ( b+ 4 )−−5∗1 ≠ 0
    2
    b + 4 b−2 b−8+5 ≠ 0
    2
    b +2 b−3 ≠ 0
    ( b+ 3 )( b−1 ) ≠ 0
    Which means that
    b ≠−3∧1

    Show that
    1
    det ( A−1 )=
    (a) det( A ) .

    SOL:

    1
    AA−1 =I ⇒ det ( AA−1 )=det ( I ) ⇒ det( A )det( A−1 )=1 ⇒ det( A−1 )=
    det ( A )

    (b) For any values of λ and β
