If A= [ array ll 1 & 2 1 & 1 array ] and B= [ array cc 0 & -1 1 & 2 array ] , then what is B⁻¹ A ⁻¹ equal to?

Options

  1. A[ array cc 1 & -3 -1 & 2 array ]
  2. B[ array cc -1 & 3 1 & -2 array ]
  3. C[ array cc -1 & 3 -1 & -2 array ]
  4. D[ array cc -1 & -3 1 & -2 array ]

Correct answer

B. [ array cc -1 & 3 1 & -2 array ]
