Step 1
Given the matrices
A=[1112],B=[2111]
Show that B is the inverse of A.
Step 2
To show that two matrices are inverse it must satisfy the following condition
AB=BA=I
where I is the identity matrix
AB=[1112][2111]
AB=[(12)+(11)(11)+(11)(12)+(21)(11)+(21)]
AB=[21111121]
AB=[1001]=I
BA=[2111][1112]
BA=[(21)+(11)(21)+(12)(11)+(11)(11)+(12)]
BA=[212+2111+2]
BA=[1001]=I
So AB=BA=I
hence B is the inverse of A.
