6.2. Inverse of a 3 x 3 matrix

Introduction

  • Inverse matrix is a matrix that gives the identity matrix when it is multiplied by its original matrix.
  • The inverse matrix of the square matrix A is denoted by A-1.

LaTeX in HTML
\[\Large A.A^{-1} = I \]

  • Non-square matrices does not have inverse matrices!
  • Also not all square matrices has inverses, if the determinant of a particular matrix is zero, then that square matrix doesn’t have an inverse matrix.
  • In this lesson we will be focusing on how to find inverse matrices of 3 × 3 matrices.

To learn how to find the inverse of a 2 x 2 matrix, follow Inverse of a 2 x 2 matrix.



Every square matrix has an inverse matrix.
