For what values of the real parameters \(a\) and \(b\) will the matrices given below be inverse to each other?
\[
\left (\array{
a& 7 \cr
3 & 1 \cr} \right ),
~
\left (\array{
-\frac1{16}& \frac7{16} \cr
b & -\frac5{16} \cr} \right )
\]
\(a=5\), \(b=\frac3{16}\)
\(a=-5\), \(b=\frac3{16}\)
\(a=5\), \(b=-\frac3{16}\)
\(a=-5\), \(b=-\frac3{16}\)
