The inverse matrix
The inverse of a square matrix
A
is the matrix
A
-1
such that
A
⋅
A
-1
=
A
-1
⋅
A
=
I
,
where
I
is the identity matrix of the same dimensions as
A
. The inverse of a
matrix is obtained in the calculator by using the inverse function, INV (i.e., the
Y
key). An example of the inverse of one of the matrices stored earlier is
presented next:
To verify the properties of the inverse matrix, we present the following
multiplications:
