![**Matrix Inversion Problem**
Determine the inverse of the invertible matrix \( A \) given by:
\[ A = \begin{bmatrix} 2 & -1 \\ 5 & -2 \end{bmatrix} \]
The inverse of \( A \) is represented by \( A^{-1} \), and we need to find:
\[ A^{-1} = \begin{bmatrix} \, & \, \\ \, & \, \end{bmatrix} \]
To find the inverse of a \( 2 \times 2 \) matrix \( \begin{bmatrix} a & b \\ c & d \end{bmatrix} \), the formula is:
\[ A^{-1} = \frac{1}{ad - bc} \begin{bmatrix} d & -b \\ -c & a \end{bmatrix} \]
Make sure the determinant \( ad - bc \neq 0 \) to ensure the matrix is invertible.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F56f2bffd-1d3a-4b76-92a6-52fd8f44fbf4%2Fca6388bb-cdec-4f5f-9702-d79184d730cc%2Fgm92p7l_processed.png&w=3840&q=75)
