Study Notes
Matrix Inverse
- Inversion of a matrix is a process of finding a matrix that, when multiplied by the original matrix, results in the identity matrix.
- The inverse of a matrix is denoted by A^(-1).
Properties of Matrix Inverse
- The result of multiplying a square matrix with its inverse is the identity matrix (I).
- The inverse of a matrix can only be applied to square matrices.
- A singular matrix is a matrix that does not have an inverse.
- An invertible matrix is a matrix that has an inverse.
Identifying Invertible Matrices
- A matrix is invertible if it is a square matrix and has a non-zero determinant.
Adjoint of a Matrix
- The adjoint of a matrix is the transpose of the cofactor matrix.
- The adjoint is used to find the inverse of a matrix.
Calculating Inverse of a Matrix
- The inverse of a matrix can be calculated using the adjoint and determinant.
- The formula for calculating the inverse is: A^(-1) = adj(A) / |A|.
- The inverse of a diagonal matrix is obtained by replacing each element in the diagonal with its reciprocal.
Matrix Operations
- The associative property of matrix multiplication is: (AB)C = A(BC).
- The distributive property of matrix multiplication is: A(B+C) = AB + AC.
- The identity matrix for any matrix A of order m x n is: Im A = A = A In.
- For a square matrix A of order n x n, In A = A In = A.
Verifying Inverse of a Matrix
- To verify if the inverse of a matrix is correct, multiply the original matrix with the calculated inverse matrix. The result should be the identity matrix.
- Division operation cannot be performed on matrices. Instead, we use the inverse of a matrix to solve for unknown values.
Assess your understanding of matrix inversion, including definitions, types of matrices, and calculations. Test your knowledge of inverse matrices and singular matrices.
