How to Find the Inverse Matrix

A square matrix A has an inverse A⁻¹ if and only if det(A) ≠ 0. The inverse satisfies: A × A⁻¹ = A⁻¹ × A = I

Gauss-Jordan Method

  1. Form the augmented matrix [A | I] where I is the identity matrix
  2. Apply row operations to reduce the left side to the identity: [I | A⁻¹]
  3. The right side is the inverse A⁻¹

2×2 Inverse Formula

$$\begin{pmatrix}a & b \\ c & d\end{pmatrix}^{-1} = \frac{1}{ad-bc}\begin{pmatrix}d & -b \\ -c & a\end{pmatrix}$$

Properties of the Inverse

  • (A⁻¹)⁻¹ = A
  • (AB)⁻¹ = B⁻¹A⁻¹
  • (Aᵀ)⁻¹ = (A⁻¹)ᵀ
  • det(A⁻¹) = 1/det(A)
