Document Summary

Recall that a square matrix is a matrix with the same number of rows as columns. 0 where a is any square matrix of order n. the identity matrix, i, of order n is the n n matrix with 1"s on the main diagonal and all other entries 0, i. e. i. The identity matrix has the property that for any square matrix of order n, a, I is the only matrix that satisfies this property. Given the square matrix a, if there exists a square matrix b such that. Ab ba i then we call the matrix b the inverse of a and write. If matrix b is the inverse of matrix a then matrix a is the inverse of matrix b, i. e. 1a. Given a square matrix a to find its inverse we need to find a matrix. Let"s begin by considering the 2 2 case. 1a such where a, b, c and d are given.
