Step 1
Given matrix,
A=[7x87]
And,
A=A1
Formula for an inverse of a matrix is
A1=1detAadjA
Step 2 Now, det(A)=7(7)x(8)
det(A)=49+8x
det(A)=8x49
And,
adjA=[7x87]
so,
A1=[78x49x8x4988x4978x49]
Step 3
Now , as given
A=A1
[7x87]=[78x49x8x4988x4978x49]
on comparing the matrices,
7=78x49
7(8x49)=7
56x343=7
56x=3437
56x=3437
56x=336
x=33656
x=6
Step 4
Therefore,
The value of x such that the matrix is equal to its own inverse is
x=6

Answer:
7=749+8x and x=x49+8x
Explanation:
Let's represent the given matrix A as:
A=[7x87]
To find the inverse of A, we can use the formula for a 2x2 matrix:
A1=1det(A)[dbca]
where det(A) represents the determinant of A, and a, b, c, and d are the elements of the matrix A.
The determinant of A can be calculated as:
det(A)=adbc
In this case, we have:
a=7,b=x,c=8,d=7
Substituting the values into the determinant formula, we get:
det(A)=(7·7)(x·8)
Simplifying further:
det(A)=49+8x
For A to be equal to its inverse, we need to set A equal to its inverse and solve for x. This gives us the following equation:
[7x87]=149+8x[7x87]
To find x, we can equate the corresponding elements of the matrices:
7=749+8xandx=x49+8x
Solving these equations will give us the value(s) of x that satisfy the condition.
7=749+8x and x=x49+8x

Step 1: Calculating the inverse of matrix A:
A1=1det(A)[dbca]
where a, b, c, and d are the entries of matrix A.
To find det(A), we can use the formula:
det(A)=adbc
Substituting the values from matrix A:
det(A)=(7)(7)(x)(8)=49+8x
Now we can substitute the values of a, b, c, and d into the formula for A1:
A1=149+8x[7x87]
Step 2: Equating A and A1:
A=A1
Substituting the matrices:
[7x87]=149+8x[7x87]
Step 3: Solving for x:
Now we can equate the corresponding elements of the matrices and solve for x.
For the top left element:
7=749+8x
For the top right element:
x=x49+8x
Simplifying these equations gives us:
49=7
8x=8x
These equations are not possible to satisfy. Hence, there is no solution for x that makes matrix A equal to its inverse.

To find x such that the matrix A is equal to its inverse, we can set up the equation as follows:
A=A1
Given matrix A:
A=[7x87]
Let's find the inverse of matrix A:
A1=1adbc[dbca]
where a, b, c, and d are the elements of matrix A. Plugging in the values:
A1=1(7)(7)(x)(8)[7x87]
Simplifying the determinant:
(7)(7)(x)(8)=49+8x
To find x such that A is equal to its inverse, we equate the matrices:
[7x87]=149+8x[7x87]
Now, we can equate the corresponding elements of the matrices:
7=749+8x
x=x49+8x
8=849+8x
7=749+8x
Solving these equations will give us the value of x.
