    Square Matrix Multiplied Identity Matrix: Inverse of A Matrix Matrix Inverse Multiplicative Inverse of A Matrix

    The inverse of a square matrix A is written as A-1. When a matrix is multiplied by its inverse, the result is the identity matrix I. Only square matrices have inverses, and not all square matrices are invertible. There are three main methods for finding the inverse of a matrix: 1) using a shortcut formula for 2x2 matrices, 2) using Gauss-Jordan elimination to transform an augmented matrix into the identity matrix and the inverse, and 3) calculating the adjoint or cofactor matrix.

    Inverse of a Matrix

    Matrix Inverse
    Multiplicative Inverse of a Matrix

    For a square matrix A, the inverse is written A-1. When A is multiplied by A-1 the result
    is the identity matrix I. Non-square matrices do not have inverses.

    Note: Not all square matrices have inverses. A square matrix which has an inverse is
    called invertible or nonsingular, and a square matrix without an inverse is
    called noninvertible or singular.

    AA-1 = A-1A = I

    Example: For matrix , its inverse is


    since

    AA-1 =

    and A-1A = .

    Here are three ways to find the inverse of a matrix:

    1. Shortcut for 2x2 matrices

    For , the inverse can be found using this formula:


    Example:

    2. Augmented matrix method

    Use Gauss-Jordan elimination to transform [ A | I ] into [ I | A-1 ].

    Example: The following steps result in .

    so we see that .

    3. Adjoint method
    A-1 = (adjoint of A) or A-1 = (cofactor matrix of A)T

    Example: The following steps result in A-1 for .

    The cofactor matrix for A is , so the adjoint

    is . Since det A = 22, we get
