Matrix Operations and Inverses

The video tutorial explains how to find the inverse of a 2x2 matrix using a specific formula. It demonstrates the process with matrix A, showing step-by-step calculations and verification by multiplying with its inverse to obtain the identity matrix. The tutorial then applies the same method to matrix B, ensuring the inverse is correct by confirming the result is the identity matrix.
