Inverse of a Matrix


Definition: Let A be a square matrix of order n x n(square matrix). If there exists a matrix B such that

A B = I n = B A

Then B is called the inverse matrix of A.


Conditions

A n x n is invertible (non-singular) if: 
  • Ax=0 has a unique solution
  • There is a B matrix such that A B = In
  • Ax=b has a unique solution for any b---x=A^-1 b


Properties

  • (AB)^-1
