    4.0 - Matrix Inverse

    The document discusses matrix inverses. It states that a matrix B is the inverse of matrix A if AB and BA are both the identity matrix. It also notes that for a matrix to have an inverse, it must be square and have a non-zero determinant. The document provides an example of an invertible 2x2 matrix and calculates its inverse using a formula. It notes that Gauss-Jordan elimination can also be used to find inverses but computers are typically used for larger matrices.

    4.0 - Matrix Inverse


    Printer-friendly version (https://onlinecourses.science.psu.edu/statprogram/print/book/export/html/151)
    The matrix B is the inverse of matrix A if AB = BA = I . This is often denoted as B = A −1
    or A = B −1
    . When
    taking the inverse of the product of two matrices A and B,
    −1 −1 −1
    (AB) = B A

    When taking the determinate of the inverse of the matrix A,

    1
    −1 −1
    det(A ) = = det(A)
    det(A)

    Note that not all matrices have inverses. For a matrix A to have an inverse, that is to say for A to be invertible, A
    must be a square matrix and det(A) ≠ 0. For that reason, invertible matrices are also called nonsingular matrices.
    Two examples are shown below

    ∣1 2 −1 ∣
    ∣ ∣ ∣5 2∣ ∣1 −1 ∣ ∣1 −1 ∣
    det(C ) = 5 3 2 = −2 ∣ ∣+3∣ ∣+0∣ ∣
    ∣ ∣
    ∣6 6∣ ∣6 6 ∣ ∣5 2 ∣
    ∣6 0 6 ∣

    det(C ) = −2(5 ∗ 6 − 2 ∗ 6) + 3(1 ∗ 6 − (−1) ∗ 6) − 0(1 ∗ 2 − (−1) ∗ 5) = 0

    So C is not invertible, because its determinate is zero. However,

    ∣ 4 5∣
    det(A) = ∣ ∣ = 4 ∗ 1 − 5 ∗ −2 = 14 ≠ 0
    ∣ −2 1∣

    A is an invertible matrix, because its determinate is nonzero. To calculate that matrix inverse of a 2 × 2 matrix, use
    the below formula.
    −1
    a1,1 a1,2 1 a2,2 −a1,2 1 a2,2 −a1,2
    −1
    A = ( ) = ( ) = ( )
    a2,1 a2,2 det(A) −a2,1 a1,1 a1,1 ∗ a2,2 − a1,2 ∗ a2,1 −a2,1 a1,1

    For example:

    −1 1 −5
    4 5 1 1 −5 1 1 −5
    −1 14 14
    A = ( ) = ( ) = ( ) = ( )
    2 4
    −2 1 det(A) 2 4 4 ∗ 1 − 5 ∗ (−2) 2 4
    14 14

    For finding the matrix inverse in general, you can use Gauss-Jordan Algorithm. However, this is a rather
    complicated algorithm, so usually one relies upon the computer or calculator to find the matrix inverse.
