$A=\begin{bmatrix} 3 & -1\\ -4 & 2 \end{bmatrix}$

$A=IA$

$\Rightarrow$ $\begin{bmatrix} 3 & -1\\ -4 & 2 \end{bmatrix}$ $= \begin{bmatrix}1&0\\0&1 \end{bmatrix}A$

$R_2\rightarrow R_2+R_1$

$\Rightarrow$ $\begin{bmatrix} 3 & -1\\ -1 & 1 \end{bmatrix}$ $= \begin{bmatrix}1&0\\1&1 \end{bmatrix}A$

$\Rightarrow$ $R_1\rightarrow R_1+2R_2$

$\Rightarrow$ $\begin{bmatrix} 1 & 1\\ -1 & 1 \end{bmatrix}$ $= \begin{bmatrix}3&2\\1&1 \end{bmatrix}A$

$R_2\rightarrow R_2+R_1$

$\begin{bmatrix} 1 & 1\\ 0 & 2 \end{bmatrix}$ $= \begin{bmatrix}3&2\\4&3 \end{bmatrix}A$

$R_2\rightarrow \frac{R_2}{2}$

$\begin{bmatrix} 1 & 1\\ 0 & 1 \end{bmatrix}$ $= \begin{bmatrix}3&2\\2&\frac{3}{2} \end{bmatrix}A$

$R_1\rightarrow R_1-R_2$

$\begin{bmatrix} 1 & 0\\ 0 & 1 \end{bmatrix}$ $= \begin{bmatrix}1&\frac{1}{2}\\2&\frac{3}{2} \end{bmatrix}A$

$\therefore A^{-1}=$ $\begin{bmatrix}1&\frac{1}{2}\\2&\frac{3}{2} \end{bmatrix}$ .

Thus the inverse of A is obtained using elementary transformation.
