Ch X 2 Matrices, Determinants, and Inverses
Square Matrix A matrix with the same number of columns as rows
Multiplicative Identity Matrix For an n X n square matrix, the multiplicative identity matrix is an n X n square matrix I, or, with 1’s along the main diagonal and 0’s elsewhere.
Multiplicative Inverse of a Matrix If A and X are n x n matrices, and AX = XA = I, then X is the multiplicative inverse of A, written:
Show that matrices A and B are multiplicative inverses. A = B = 3 – – = (3)(0.1) + (–1)(–0.7) (3)(0.1) + (–1)(0.3) (7)(0.1) + (1)(–0.7) (7)(0.1) + (1)(0.3) AB = I, so B is the multiplicative inverse of A.

Inverse of a 2x2 Matrix Let A =. If det A 0, then has an inverse. If det A 0, then
Determine whether each matrix has an inverse. If it does, find it. Find det X. ad – bc = (12)(3) – (4)(9) Simplify. = Since det X = 0, the inverse of X does not exist. Find det Y. ad – bc = (6)(20) – (5)(25) Simplify. = – Since the determinant 0, the inverse of Y exists.=/ a. X = b. Y =

Solve X = for the matrix X. The matrix equation has the form AX = B. First find A – –7 A –1 = 1 ad – bc d –b –c a Use the definition of inverse. = 1 (9)(11) – (25)(4) 11 –25 –4 9 Substitute. = – –9 Simplify. Use the equation X = A –1 B. X = – –9 Substitute. 3 –7
(continued) = = (–11)(3) + (25)(–7) (4)(3) + (–9)(–7) Multiply and simplify. – Check: X = Use the original equation. 3 – Substitute. 3 –7 – Multiply and simplify. 3 –7 9(–208) + 25(75) 4(–208) + 11(75) = 3 –7 3 –7
