Inverse of a Matrix

   Also found in: Wikipedia 0.01 sec.
Inverse of a Matrix 

For a given square matrix A = ǀǀaijǀǀn1 of order n there exists a matrix B = ǀǀbijǀǀn1 of the same order (called inverse matrix) such that AB = E, where E is the unit matrix; then the equation BA = E also holds. The inverse of a matrix A is designated as A–1. For the existence of the inverse of a matrix A–1, it is necessary and sufficient that the determinant of the given matrix A be nonzero; that is, the matrix A must be nonsingular. The elements bij of the inverse of a matrix are found by the formula bij = Aji/D, where Aji is the cofactor of the element aij of matrix A and D is the determinant of matrix A.

4) We refer the reader to [1] for the definition and the properties of the Moore-Penrose inverse of a matrix.
Secondary school teachers may use this activity to consolidate their students' learning of certain concepts of matrices such as the algorithm for matrix multiplication and the concept of the multiplicative inverse of a matrix.
