Adjoin the identity matrix onto the right of the original matrix, so that you have A on the left side and the identity matrix on
the right side. It will look like this:
4 1 2 1 0 0
2 3 -1 0 1 0
1 -2 2 0 0 1
Now find the inverse matrix. Using elementary row operations to transform the left side of the resulting matrix to the identity
matrix.
R2 - 2 R1 → R2 (multiply 1 row by 2 and subtract it from 2 row); R3 - 1 R1 → R3 (multiply 1 row by 1 and subtract it from 3
row)
R1 - 0.25 R2 → R1 (multiply 2 row by 0.25 and subtract it from 1 row); R3 + 2.25 R2 → R3 (multiply 2 row by 2.25 and add it
to 3 row)
R1 - 0.7 R3 → R1 (multiply 3 row by 0.7 and subtract it from 1 row); R2 + 0.8 R3 → R2 (multiply 3 row by 0.8 and add it to 2
row)
