Inverse Inverse MatricesSupposeAis a square matrix . We look for an Inverse matrix A 1of the same size, suchthatA 1timesAequalsI. WhateverAdoes,A 1undoes. Their product is the identitymatrix which does nothing to a vector, soA 1might not a matrix mostly does is to multiply a vectorx. MultiplyingAxDbbyA 1givesA 1 AxDA isxDA 1b. The productA 1 Ais like multiplying bya number and then dividing by that number. A number has an Inverse if it is not zero Matrices are more complicated and more interesting. The matrixA 1is called Ainverse. DEFINITIONThe matrixAisinvertibleif there exists a matrixA 1such thatA 1 ADIandAA 1DI:(1)Not all Matrices have inverses. This is the first question we ask about a square matrix :IsAinvertible?
84 Chapter 2. Solving Linear Equations The Gauss-Jordan method computes A 1 by solving all n equations together. Usually the “augmented matrix” ŒA b has one extra column b. Now we have three right sides e1;e2;e3 (when A is 3 by 3). They are the columns of I, so the augmented
