1. Identity & Inverse Matrices

2. Identity In other words, 5 * __= 5? What does “identity” mean to you?
What is the multiplicative identity for the real numbers?
In other words, 5 * __= 5?
The identity for multiplication is 1 because anything multiplied by 1 will be itself.

3. Inverses What does “inverse” mean to you?
What is the inverse of multiplication?

4. Any number multiplied by its inverse will be the identity.
What do we multiply by to get the identity?
In other words, 5 * ___=1?
a * a-1= 1
Any number multiplied by its inverse will be the identity.

5. Notes
Identity Matrix
The multiplicative identity for matrices is a square matrix with ones on the main diagonal and zeros everywhere else.

6. Identity Matrix
Just like 5*1 = 5…
AI= A
IA= A Or

7. A * A-1= I A-1 *A = I Identity Matrix
Any matrix multiplied by its inverse will be the identity matrix.
A * A-1= I
A-1 *A = I
3x3 Identity Matrix
2x2 Identity Matrix

8. Ex. 1 Determine whether A and B are inverses.
YES

9. Ex. 2 Determine whether A and B are inverses.NO

10. The Inverse of a 2x2 Matrix
If ad-cd=0, then the matrix has no inverse!!!!
A-1=
As long as ad-cb =0

11. Ex. 3 Find A-1, if it exists.
A-1=

12. Ex. 4 Find A-1, if it exists.
A-1=

13. Ex. 5 Find A-1, if it exists.
Does not exist, because it’s not square.

14. Now let’s learn how to use our calculator!!!

15. Find the inverse! Yes, now you can add, subtract, multiply,
and find the determinant in you calculator!! 

16. Solving Systems using Matrices and Inverses

17. Solving Matrix Equations
Suppose ax = b
How do you solve for x?
We cannot divide matrices, but we can multiply by the inverse.
A-1
AX = B
A-1
IX = A-1B
X = A-1B

18. Solving a Matrix Equation
Solve the matrix equation AX=B for the 2x2 matrix X
X = A-1B

19. Ex. Solve

20. Solving Systems Using Inverse Matrices

21. Setting Up the Matrices
Matrix A will be the coefficients of the system
Matrix X will be the variables
Matrix B will be constants (what the system of equations are equal to)

22. A linear system can be written as a matrix equation AX=B
Constant matrix
Coefficient matrix
Variable matrix

23. Example 1

24. Example 2: Use matrices to solve the linear system
Type in [A]-1 [B]
Find the inverse
(-1, 4)

25. Example 3: Use matrices to solve the linear system
Type in [A]-1 [B]
Find the inverse
(4, 4)

26. Example 4: Use matrices to solve the linear system
Type in [A]-1 [B]
(-2, 3, 1)

27. Example 5: Use matrices to solve the linear system
Type in [A]-1 [B]
(2, 3, -2)

28. Let’s apply this…
You have $18 to spend for lunch during a 5 day school week. It costs you $1.50 to make lunch at home and $5 to buy lunch. How many times each week do you make a lunch at home?
Type in [A]-1 [B]
(2, 3)
You make lunch at home 2 times a week.

29. A word problem…!!
A small corporation borrowed $1,500,000 to expand its product line. Some of the money was borrowed at 8%, some at 9% and some at 12%. How much was borrowed at each rate if the annual interest was $133,000 and the amount borrowed at 8% was 4 times the amount borrowed at 12%?
$800,000 at 8%
$500,000 at 9%
$200,000 at 12%
