Inverse of Matrix :
After calculating determinant, adjoint from
the matrix as in the previous tutorials a)
Find determinant of A (|A|)
b)
Find adjoint of A (adj A)
we will be calculating the inverse using
determinant and adjoint
c) Calculate the inverse using the formulae
A-1 = adjoint A / |A|
An Example:
For an example we will find the inverse for
the following matrix
a)Finding determinant of A:
|A| = 1x(1x4-3x2) +
3x(1x4-2x2) + 1x(1x3-2x1)
|A| = 1x(4-6) + 3x(4-4) +
1x(3-2) = -2+0+1
|A| = -1
b)Finding Minors of A:
M
11 = 1x4-3x2 =
4-6 = -2
M
12 = 1x4-2x2 =
4-4 = 0
M
13 = 1x3-2x1 =
3-2 = 1
M
21 = 3x4-3x1 =
12-3 = 9
M
22 = 1x4-2x1 =
4-2 = 2
M
23 = 1x3-2x3 =
3-6 = -3
M
31 = 3x2-1x1 =
6-1 = 5
M
32 = 1x2-1x1 =
2-1 = 1
M
33 = 1x1-1x3 =
1-3 = -2
c)Forming Minors Matrix of A:
d)Forming Cofactor Matrix of A:
| Matrix of cofactors |
| -2 x 1 | 0 x -1 | 1 x 1 |
| 9 x -1 | 2 x 1 | -3 x -1 |
| 5 x 1 | 1 x -1 | -2 x 1 |
| = |
|
e)Forming Adjoint A:
f) Finding the Inverse Matrix of A
| Inverse of
Matrix (A-1)
|
| A-1 = ajd A / |A| = |
1/-1 |
