(Recall: is also written a – 1.) In a similar way, if A is an n  n matrix, then its multiplicative inverse, written A –1, must satisfy both of the following. This means that only a square matrix can have a multiplicative inverse.

Copyright © 2013, 2009, 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. 11 Caution Although a -1 = for any nonzero real number a, if A is a matrix, then We do not use the symbol, since 1 is a number and A is a matrix.

Copyright © 2013, 2009, 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. 12 Multiplicative Inverses To find the matrix A –1 we use row transformations, introduced earlier in this chapter. As an example, we find the inverse of Let the unknown inverse matrix be symbolized as follows.

Copyright © 2013, 2009, 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. 15 Since equations (1) and (3) involve only x and z, while equations (2) and (4) involve only y and w, these four equations lead to two systems of equations. Multiplicative Inverses Write the two systems as augmented matrices. and

We need to change the numbers on the left of the vertical bar to the 2 x 2 identity matrix.

Copyright © 2013, 2009, 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. 23 Finding an Inverse Matrix To obtain A – 1 for any n  n matrix A for which A – 1 exists, follow these steps. Step 1 Form the augmented matrix [A  I n ] where I n is the n  n identity matrix. Step 2 Perform row transformations on [A  I n ] to obtain a matrix of the form [I n  B]. Step 3 Matrix B is A – 1.

Copyright © 2013, 2009, 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. 24 Note To confirm that two n  n matrices A and B are inverses of each other, it is sufficient to show that AB = I n. It is not necessary to show also that BA = I n.

Copyright © 2013, 2009, 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. 26 Example 2 FINDING THE INVERSE OF A 3  3 MATRIX Step 2 Since 1 is already in the upper left-hand corner as desired, begin by using the row transformation that will result in 0 for the first element in the second row. Multiply the elements of the first row by – 2 and add the result to the second row. – 2R1 + R2

Copyright © 2013, 2009, 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. 27 Example 2 FINDING THE INVERSE OF A 3  3 MATRIX – 3R1 + R3 To get 0 for the first element in the third row, multiply the elements of the first row by – 3 and add to the third row.

Copyright © 2013, 2009, 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. 28 Example 2 FINDING THE INVERSE OF A 3  3 MATRIX – ½ R2 To get 1 for the second element in the second row, multiply the elements of the second row by – ½.

Copyright © 2013, 2009, 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. 33 Example 3 INDENTIFYING A MATRIX WITH NO INVERSE Find A –1, if possible, given that Solution Using row transformations to change the first column of the augmented matrix results in the following matrices.

Copyright © 2013, 2009, 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. 34 Example 3 INDENTIFYING A MATRIX WITH NO INVERSE and (We multiplied the elements in row one by in the first step, and in the second step we added the negative of row one to row two.) At this point, the matrix should be changed so that the second row, second element will be 1.

Copyright © 2013, 2009, 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. 35 Example 3 INDENTIFYING A MATRIX WITH NO INVERSE Since that element is now 0, there is no way to complete the desired transformation, so A –1 does not exist for this matrix A. Just as there is no multiplicative inverse for the real number 0, not every matrix has a multiplicative inverse. Matrix A is an example of such a matrix. and

(A square system has the same number of equations as variables.) For example, consider the following linear system of three equations with three variables.
