**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.
