Inverse of A Matrix

The document outlines the procedure for calculating the inverse of a matrix using Gauss-Jordan reduction and the adjoint method. It emphasizes the importance of transforming the augmented matrix to reduced row echelon form and identifies conditions under which the inverse exists or if the matrix is singular. Examples are provided to illustrate the steps involved in finding the inverse of matrices.

Calculation of Inverse Matrix:

1. Using Gauss-Jordan reduction:

The procedure for computing the inverse of a matrix A:

1. Form the augmented matrix

and transform the augmented matrix to the matrix

in reduced row echelon form via elementary row operations.

2. If
(a) , then .
(b) , then is singular and does not exist.

Example:

To find the inverse of , we can employ the procedure introduced

above.

As , then
.

Note:
is always true.
Note:
As A is nonsingular.
