INVERSE OF a MATRIX
 Matrices : Lesson - 4
INVERSE OF MATRIX

Inverse of Matrix

A square matrix of order n is invertible if there exists a square matrix B of the

same order such that,
AB = In = BA

In such a case, we say that the inverse of A is B and we write, A–1 = B.

Clearly if A is non-singular (i.e. |A| ≠ 0) then A–1 is defined, and is given by

1
A–1 = × (adj(A)) Note: A–1 × A = I

Properties of Inverse of a Matrix

Property 1 Inverse of a matrix is unique

Property 2 (AB)–1 = B–1A–1 (Reversal law)

Property 3 If A is an invertible square matrix; Then (A)T is also invertible and

(AT)–1 = (A–1)T

Property 4 The inverse of an invertible symmetric matrix is a symmetric matrix.

Property 5 | A–1 | = | A |–1 i.e. | A–1 | =

C If detA = ± 1, then A–1 exists and all its entries are integers

D If detA = ± 1, then A–1 need not exist

Solution:

Each entry of A is integer, so the cofactor of every entry is an integer and hence
each entry in the adjoint of matrix A is integer.
