Slide 1: Problem of Matrices - Inverse of a Matrix
- Matrices play a crucial role in various areas of mathematics and other disciplines.
- Inverse of a matrix is an important concept that has practical applications.
- In this lecture, we will explore the concept of inverse of a matrix and its properties.
- We will also solve problems related to finding the inverse of a given matrix.
- Let’s begin our discussion on inverse of matrices.
Slide 2: Definition of Inverse of a Matrix
- An n x n square matrix A is said to have an inverse if there exists another n x n square matrix B, such that AB = BA = I.
- Here, I denotes the identity matrix of the same order as A.
- If matrix B exists, then it is denoted as A^(-1) and is called the inverse of matrix A.
- It is important to note that not all matrices have an inverse.
- For a matrix to have an inverse, its determinant must be non-zero.
Slide 3: Properties of Inverse of a Matrix
- The inverse of a matrix A, denoted as A^(-1), has the following properties:
- (A^(-1))^(-1) = A (Inverse of the inverse is the matrix itself)
- (kA)^(-1) = (1/k)A^(-1), where k is a non-zero scalar
- (AB)^(-1) = B^(-1)A^(-1) (Inverse of the product of two matrices is the product of their inverses in reverse order)
- (A^T)^(-1) = (A^(-1))^T (Inverse of the transpose of a matrix is equal to the transpose of its inverse)
Slide 4: Method to Find the Inverse of a 2x2 Matrix
To find the inverse of a 2x2 matrix A, we follow these steps:
- Let A = | a b |, then the inverse is given by A^(-1) = (1/det(A)) * | d -b |
| c d | | -c a |
where det(A) = ad - bc.
- If det(A) = 0, then the matrix A does not have an inverse.
- If det(A) ≠ 0, then we can calculate the inverse using the above formula.
Slide 5: Example - Finding the Inverse of a 2x2 Matrix
Consider the 2x2 matrix A = | 3 1 |
| 2 5 |
To find the inverse, we need to first calculate the determinant.
det(A) = 35 - 12 = 13
Since det(A) ≠ 0, the matrix A has an inverse.
Using the inverse formula, A^(-1) = (1/13) * | 5 -1 |
| -2 3 |
Therefore, the inverse of matrix A is:
A^(-1) = | 5/13 -1/13 |
| -2/13 3/13 |
Slide 6: Method to Find the Inverse of a 3x3 Matrix
To find the inverse of a 3x3 matrix A, we can use the following formula:
A^(-1) = (1/det(A)) * adj(A)
Where det(A) is the determinant of matrix A, and adj(A) is the adjoint of matrix A.
Slide 7: Adjoint of a 3x3 Matrix
- The adjoint of a 3x3 matrix A is obtained by finding the transpose of the matrix of cofactors.
- The cofactor of each element in the matrix is obtained by multiplying the minor of that element by (-1)^(i+j), where i and j are the row and column numbers of the element.
Slide 8: Example - Finding the Inverse of a 3x3 Matrix
Consider the 3x3 matrix A = | 2 1 3 |
| 0 2 5 |
| 1 3 4 |
To find the inverse, we first need to calculate the determinant of matrix A.
det(A) = 2 * (42 - 35) - 1 * (12 - 30) + 3 * (15 - 32)
= -13
Since det(A) ≠ 0, the matrix A has an inverse.
Next, we need to find the adjoint of matrix A.
Slide 9: Example - Finding the Inverse of a 3x3 Matrix (Contd.)
To find the adjoint, we obtain the matrix of cofactors and then take its transpose.
Cofactor matrix of A:
| 8 3 -1 |
| -6 -2 2 |
| 2 1 -2 |
Transpose of the cofactor matrix:
| 8 -6 2 |
| 3 -2 1 |
| -1 2 -2 |
Finally, we find the inverse of matrix A using the formula A^(-1) = (1/det(A)) * adj(A).
A^(-1) = (1/(-13)) * | 8 -6 2 |
| 3 -2 1 |
| -1 2 -2 |
Therefore, the inverse of matrix A is:
A^(-1) = | -8/13 6/13 -2/13 |
| -3/13 2/13 -1/13 |
| 1/13 -2/13 2/13 |
Slide 10: Summary

Slide 11: Properties of Inverse Matrices
- If A is a square matrix and A^(-1) exists, then A^(-1) is unique.
- The product of a matrix and its inverse is equal to the identity matrix: AA^(-1) = A^(-1)A = I.
- The inverse of a diagonal matrix is obtained by taking the reciprocal of each non-zero diagonal element.
- The inverse of a scalar multiple of a matrix is equal to the reciprocal of the scalar multiplied by the inverse of the matrix.

Slide 12: Finding the Inverse of a 4x4 Matrix
- To find the inverse of a 4x4 matrix, we can use the adjugate and determinant method.
- Calculate the determinant of the matrix.
- If the determinant is zero, the matrix does not have an inverse.
- If the determinant is non-zero, find the adjugate matrix.
- Multiply the adjugate matrix by the reciprocal of the determinant to get the inverse of the matrix.
- Solve an example problem to illustrate the process.
Slide 13: Example - Finding the Inverse of a 4x4 Matrix
Consider the 4x4 matrix A = | 2 1 3 0 |
| 1 0 2 1 |
| 0 1 -1 2 |
| 1 2 1 -1 |
To find the inverse, calculate the determinant of matrix A. If det(A) ≠ 0, proceed with finding the adjugate and inverse.
Slide 14: Example - Finding the Inverse of a 4x4 Matrix (Contd.)
Det(A) = 2 * ((001 + 221 + 111) - (-121 + 110 + 210))
= 10
Since det(A) ≠ 0, we can proceed with finding the inverse.
Slide 15: Example - Finding the Inverse of a 4x4 Matrix (Contd.)
Next, we find the adjugate matrix of A.
Adjugate(A) = | 0 -6 2 2 |
| 5 5 -2 -1 |
| -1 5 1 -1 |
| 10 -1 -4 -2 |
Finally, we find the inverse of matrix A using the formula A^(-1) = (1/det(A)) * adj(A).
Slide 16: Example - Finding the Inverse of a 4x4 Matrix (Contd.)
A^(-1) = (1/10) * | 0 -6 2 2 |
| 5 5 -2 -1 |
| -1 5 1 -1 |
| 10 -1 -4 -2 |
Therefore, the inverse of matrix A is:
A^(-1) = | 0 -3/5 1/5 1/5 |
| 1 1/2 -1/5 -1/10 |
| -1 1/2 1/10 -1/10 |
| 2 -1/10 -2/5 -1/5 |
Slide 17: Solving Equations using Inverse Matrices
- Inverse matrices can be used to solve systems of linear equations.
- Given a system Ax = b, where A is a coefficient matrix, x is a column vector of variables, and b is a column vector of constants, we can solve for x by multiplying both sides of the equation by A^(-1).
- This gives the solution x = A^(-1)b.
Slide 18: Example - Solving a System of Equations using Inverse Matrices
Consider the system of equations:
2x + y = 5
x - 3y = 2
To solve for x and y, we can rewrite the system as Ax = b.
Where A = | 2 1 |
| 1 -3 |
And b = | 5 |
| 2 |
Slide 19: Example - Solving a System of Equations using Inverse Matrices (Contd.)
To find the solution, we can use the equation x = A^(-1)b.
From Slide 15, we already have the inverse of matrix A as A^(-1) = | -3/5 1/5 |
| 1/2 -1/5 |
Multiplying A^(-1) by b gives the solution vector x = | -9/5 |
| 1/10 |
Therefore, the solution to the system of equations is x = -9/5 and y = 1/10.
Slide 20: Summary

Slide 21: Applications of Inverse Matrices
- Inverse matrices have a wide range of applications in various fields, including physics, engineering, computer science, and economics.
- They can be used to solve systems of linear equations, which arise in many real-world problems.
- Inverse matrices are essential for solving problems involving transformations, such as rotations, reflections, and scaling.

Slide 22: Solving Systems of Linear Equations using Inverse Matrices
- If we have a system of linear equations Ax = b, where A is an invertible matrix, we can find the solution by multiplying both sides by A^(-1).
- This gives the solution x = A^(-1)b.
- Inverse matrices allow us to solve systems of equations more efficiently compared to traditional methods, such as Gaussian elimination.
- Inverse matrices also provide a clear understanding of the relationship between the coefficients and variables in a system of equations.
- Let’s solve an example problem to further illustrate this concept.
Slide 23: Example - Solving a System of Linear Equations using Inverse Matrices
Consider the system of equations:
4x + 5y = 13
To solve for x and y, we can rewrite the system as Ax = b.
Where A = | 2 3 |
| 4 5 |
And b = | 8 |
| 13 |
Slide 24: Example - Solving a System of Linear Equations using Inverse Matrices (Contd.)
To find the solution, we can use the equation x = A^(-1)b.
From previous calculations, we have the inverse of matrix A as A^(-1) = | -5/2 3/2 |
| 4/3 -2/3 |
Multiplying A^(-1) by b gives the solution vector x = | 1 |
| 2 |
Therefore, the solution to the system of equations is x = 1 and y = 2.
- Inverse matrices have a close relationship with the concept of transformations.
- It is known that a matrix represents a linear transformation.
- The inverse of the matrix represents the reverse transformation that can retrieve the original input.
- In other words, if we apply a transformation represented by matrix A and then apply its inverse, we get back to the original shape or object.
Consider the transformation T(x, y) = A * V, where A = | 2 1 |
| 1 1 |
And V is a vector, | x |
| y |
To find the inverse transformation, we need the inverse of matrix A.
From Slide 23, we already have the inverse of matrix A as A^(-1) = | 1 -1 |
| -1 2 |
The inverse transformation T^(-1)(x, y) = A^(-1) * V, where V is a vector, | x |
| y |
Using the inverse matrix, we have the inverse transformation as:
T^(-1)(x, y) = | 1 -1 | * | x |
| y |
Simplifying the computation, we get:
T^(-1)(x, y) = | x - y |
| -x + 2y |
The inverse transformation takes the transformed shape back to its original position.
Slide 28: Cramer’s Rule for Solving Systems of Linear Equations
- Cramer’s rule is another method for solving systems of linear equations using determinants and inverse matrices.
- For an n x n system of equations Ax = b, where A is a coefficient matrix, x is a column vector of variables, and b is a column vector of constants, the Cramer’s rule states that the solution for x can be obtained as x = (adj(A) * b) / det(A).
- However, Cramer’s rule is computationally expensive for larger systems and is more suitable for smaller systems of equations.
Slide 29: Example - Solving a System of Linear Equations using Cramer’s Rule
Consider the system of equations:
4x + 5y = 13
To solve for x and y using Cramer’s rule, we need to calculate the determinant and adjugate of matrix A.
From previous calculations, we have A = | 2 3 |
| 4 5 |
Determinant of A, det(A) = (2 * 5) - (3 * 4) = -2
Adjugate of A, adj(A) = | 5 -3 |
| -4 2 |
Slide 30: Example - Solving a System of Linear Equations using Cramer’s Rule (Contd.)
According to Cramer’s rule, we can find the solutions for x and y as:
x = (det(A_x) / det(A)) = (det( | 8 3 | ) / -2) = -11 / 2
| 13 5 |
y = (det(A_y) / det(A)) = (det( | 2 8 | ) / -2) = 26 / 2
| 4 13 |
Therefore, the solution to the system of equations is x = -11/2 and y = 13/2.
