Calculations like that but using much larger matrices help Engineers design buildings, are used in video games and computer animations to make things look 3-dimensional, and many other places. It is also a way to solve Systems of Linear Equations.
With matrices the order of multiplication usually changes the answer. Also note how the rows and columns are swapped over "Transposed" compared to the previous example.
It is like the inverse we got before, but Transposed rows and columns swapped over. We cannot go any further! This matrix has no Inverse. Such a matrix is called "Singular", which only happens when the determinant is zero. In the case of real numbers , the inverse of any real number a was the number a -1 , such that a times a -1 equals 1.
We knew that for a real number, the inverse of the number was the reciprocal of the number, as long as the number wasn't zero. The inverse of a square matrix A, denoted by A -1 , is the matrix so that the product of A and A -1 is the Identity matrix. The identity matrix that results will be the same size as matrix A. Inverse matrix finds application to solve matrices easily. The inverse matrix formula can be given as,.
The following terms below are helpful for more clear understanding and easy calculation of the inverse of matrix. Minor: The minor is defined for every element of a matrix.
The minor of a particular element is the determinant obtained after eliminating the row and column containing this element. Cofactor: The cofactor of an element is calculated by multiplying the minor with -1 to the exponent of the sum of the row and column elements in order representation of that element. Determinant: The determinant of a matrix is the single unique value representation of a matrix. The determinant of the matrix can be calculated with reference to any row or column of the given matrix.
The determinant of the matrix is equal to the summation of the product of the elements and its cofactors, of a particular row or column of the matrix. Singular Matrix: A matrix having a determinant value of zero is referred to as a singular matrix.
The inverse of a singular matrix does not exist. Non-Singular Matrix: A matrix whose determinant value is not equal to zero is referred to as a non-singular matrix. A non-singular matrix is called an invertible matrix since its inverse can be calculated.
Adjoint of Matrix: The adjoint of a matrix is the transpose of the cofactor element matrix of the given matrix. Rules For Row and Column Operations of a Determinant: The following rules are helpful to perform the row and column operations on determinants. The inverse of matrix can be found using two methods.
The inverse of a matrix can be calculated through elementary operations and through the use of an adjoint of a matrix. The elementary operations on a matrix can be performed through row or column transformations. Also, the inverse of a matrix can be calculated by applying the inverse of matrix formula through the use of the determinant and the adjoint of the matrix. For performing the inverse of the matrix through elementary column operations we use the matrix X and the second matrix B on the right-hand side of the equation.
For calculating the inverse of a matrix through elementary row operations, let us consider three square matrices X, A, and B respectively. For performing the elementary row operations we use this concept. Mario has taught at both the high school and collegiate levels. There are 7 references cited in this article, which can be found at the bottom of the page. This article has been viewed 3,, times. Inverse operations are commonly used in algebra to simplify what otherwise might be difficult.
For example, if a problem requires you to divide by a fraction, you can more easily multiply by its reciprocal. This is an inverse operation. Similarly, since there is no division operator for matrices, you need to multiply by the inverse matrix. Calculating the inverse of a 3x3 matrix by hand is a tedious job, but worth reviewing.
You can also find the inverse using an advanced graphing calculator. To find the inverse of a 3x3 matrix, first calculate the determinant of the matrix. If the determinant is 0, the matrix has no inverse. Next, transpose the matrix by rewriting the first row as the first column, the middle row as the middle column, and the third row as the third column.
Find the determinant of each of the 2x2 minor matrices, then create a matrix of cofactors using the results of the previous step. Divide each term of the adjugate matrix by the determinant to get the inverse. If you want to learn how to find the inverse using the functions on a scientific calculator, keep reading the article!

Tips and Warnings. Related Articles. Article Summary. Method 1. Check the determinant of the matrix. You need to calculate the determinant of the matrix as an initial step. If the determinant is 0, then your work is finished, because the matrix has no inverse. The determinant of matrix M can be represented symbolically as det M. Transpose the original matrix. Transposing means reflecting the matrix about the main diagonal, or equivalently, swapping the i,j th element and the j,i th.
When you transpose the terms of the matrix, you should see that the main diagonal from upper left to lower right is unchanged. Notice the colored elements in the diagram above and see where the numbers have changed position. Find the determinant of each of the 2x2 minor matrices. To find the right minor matrix for each term, first highlight the row and column of the term you begin with. This should include five terms of the matrix. The remaining four terms make up the minor matrix.
The remaining four terms are the corresponding minor matrix. Find the determinant of each minor matrix by cross-multiplying the diagonals and subtracting, as shown. For more on minor matrices and their uses, see Understand the Basics of Matrices. Create the matrix of cofactors.
Place the results of the previous step into a new matrix of cofactors by aligning each minor matrix determinant with the corresponding position in the original matrix. Thus, the determinant that you calculated from item 1,1 of the original matrix goes in position 1,1. The second element is reversed. The third element keeps its original sign. Continue on with the rest of the matrix in this fashion. For a review of cofactors, see Understand the Basics of Matrices.
The final result of this step is called the adjugate matrix of the original. This is sometimes referred to as the adjoint matrix. The adjugate matrix is noted as Adj M. Divide each term of the adjugate matrix by the determinant.
Recall the determinant of M that you calculated in the first step to check that the inverse was possible. You now divide every term of the matrix by that value. Place the result of each calculation into the spot of the original term. The result is the inverse of the original matrix. Therefore, dividing every term of the adjugate matrix results in the adjugate matrix itself. Mathematically, these are equivalent. Method 2. Adjoin the identity matrix to the original matrix.
