The inverse of the matrix $\begin{bmatrix}4&0&0\\0&5&0\\0&0&6\end{bmatrix}$ is |
$\begin{bmatrix}-1/4&0&0\\0&-1/5&0\\0&0&-1/6\end{bmatrix}$ $\begin{bmatrix}-1/30&0&0\\0&1/24&0\\0&0&1/20\end{bmatrix}$ $\begin{bmatrix}1/4&0&0\\0&1/5&0\\0&0&1/6\end{bmatrix}$ $\begin{bmatrix}6&0&0\\0&5&0\\0&0&4\end{bmatrix}$ |
$\begin{bmatrix}1/4&0&0\\0&1/5&0\\0&0&1/6\end{bmatrix}$ |
The correct answer is Option (3) → $\begin{bmatrix}1/4&0&0\\0&1/5&0\\0&0&1/6\end{bmatrix}$ ** The matrix is diagonal: $\begin{bmatrix}4 & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & 5 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & 6\end{bmatrix}$ The inverse of a diagonal matrix is obtained by taking reciprocals of diagonal entries. $A^{-1}=\begin{bmatrix}\frac{1}{4} & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & \frac{1}{5} & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & \frac{1}{6}\end{bmatrix}$ |
