Answer

$A^{-1}=\begin{bmatrix} {0.01}&{0.04}&{0.00}&{0.03}\\ {0.02}&{-0.02}&{0.01}&{0.01}\\ {-0.04}&{0.02}&{0.04}&{0.06}\\ {0.05}&{-0.02}&{0.00}&{-0.09}\end{bmatrix}$

Work Step by Step

We are asked to compute the inverse of the following matrix by using a calculator or computer. $A=\begin{bmatrix} 16 & 22 & -3 & 5\\ 21 & -17 & 4 & 8 \\ 2&8& 27&20 \\ 5 &15 & -3 & -10 \end{bmatrix}$ The inverse of the matrix $A$ can be calculated by using the Desmos.com Matrix Calculator and rounding to two decimal places as shown below: $A^{-1}=\begin{bmatrix} {0.01}&{0.04}&{0.00}&{0.03}\\ {0.02}&{-0.02}&{0.01}&{0.01}\\ {-0.04}&{0.02}&{0.04}&{0.06}\\ {0.05}&{-0.02}&{0.00}&{-0.09}\end{bmatrix}$
