Linear Algebra: Chapter 2 Part 2

1. The inverse of an n×n matrix A exists if a matrix B can be found such that AB=BA=In, the n×n identity matrix. 2. To find the inverse of a matrix, Gauss-Jordan elimination is used to reduce the matrix to reduced row echelon form. If the reduced form is In, then the inverse is the reduced row echelon form. 3. Properties of inverses include: the inverse of a scalar multiple of a matrix is the scalar multiple of the inverse, the inverse of the product of two matrices is the opposite order of their inverses, and the inverse of the transpose of a matrix is the transpose of its inverse.

Let A be an n n matrix. If a matrix B can be found such that
., then A is said to be . and B is called
the of A. If such a matrix B does not exist, then A has
no inverse. (denote B = . , and A
