Algebra - Finding the Inverse of a Matrix (1 of 2) A 3X3 Matrix
Michel van Biezen・15 minutes read
The process of finding the inverse of a matrix involves transforming an identity matrix to match the original matrix by manipulating rows and columns to result in a square matrix with ones along the diagonal and zeros elsewhere. To verify accuracy, multiply the original matrix by its inverse to obtain the identity matrix, ensuring the resulting values align to confirm correctness.

Finding the Inverse Matrix: Step-by-Step Guide
- To find the inverse of a matrix, it must be a square matrix with the same number of columns as rows.
- The process involves recopying the original matrix and placing an identity matrix next to it.
- The identity matrix has ones along the diagonal and zeros elsewhere.
- Through a series of steps, the goal is to transform the identity matrix into the inverse matrix.
- The first step is to make the upper left element of the original matrix equal to 1.
- This is achieved by dividing the entire row by the element's value.
- Next, elements in the same column are made zeros by adding multiples of the first row.
- The process continues column by column, making each column's diagonal element 1 and the rest zeros.
- The resulting matrix on the right side is the inverse of the original matrix.
- To verify correctness, multiply the original matrix by its inverse to obtain the identity matrix.
