EXAMPLE 3 Find the inverse of a 3 × 3 matrix Use a graphing calculator to find the inverse of A. Then use the calculator to verify your result. 2 1 – A = SOLUTION Enter matrix A into a graphing calculator and calculate A –1. Then compute AA –1 and A –1 A to verify that you obtain the 3 × 3 identity matrix.

GUIDED PRACTICE for Example – –2 12 –4 –6 A = Use a graphing calculator to find the inverse of the matrix A. Check the result by showing that AA -1 = I and A -1 A = I.
GUIDED PRACTICE for Example – A = – A =
