The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to analyze the statements related to the invertible matrices \( A \) and \( B \) and identify which one is not correct. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Properties of Invertible Matrices:** - Recall that a matrix \( A \) is invertible if its determinant \( \text{det}(A) \neq 0 \). - The inverse of a matrix \( A \) can be expressed as: \[ A^{-1} = \frac{\text{adj}(A)}{\text{det}(A)} \] - The adjugate (or adjoint) of a matrix \( A \), denoted as \( \text{adj}(A) \), is a matrix that can be used to find the inverse of \( A \). 2. **Analyzing Option A:** - The statement is \( \text{adj}(A) = \text{det}(A) \cdot A^{-1} \). - From the formula for the inverse, we can rearrange it to show: \[ A^{-1} = \frac{\text{adj}(A)}{\text{det}(A)} \implies \text{adj}(A) = \text{det}(A) \cdot A^{-1} \] - This statement is correct. 3. **Analyzing Option B:** - The statement is \( \text{det}(A^{-1}) = \text{det}(A)^{-1} \). - We know the property of determinants: \[ \text{det}(A^{-1}) = \frac{1}{\text{det}(A)} \] - Therefore, this can be rewritten as: \[ \text{det}(A^{-1}) = \text{det}(A)^{-1} \] - This statement is also correct. 4. **Analyzing Option C:** - The statement is \( (A + B)^{-1} = A^{-1} + B^{-1} \). - The formula for the inverse of a sum of two matrices is not simply the sum of their inverses. The correct formula is: \[ (A + B)^{-1} \neq A^{-1} + B^{-1} \] - In fact, the correct expression involves the adjugate and determinant of the sum, and generally, this statement does not hold true. 5. **Conclusion:** - Since options A and B are correct, and option C is not correct, we conclude that the statement which is not correct is: \[ (A + B)^{-1} \neq A^{-1} + B^{-1} \] ### Final Answer: The statement that is not correct is: **C: \( (A + B)^{-1} = A^{-1} + B^{-1} \)**.
