Section 4.4 Identity and Inverse Matrices
Identity matrix • The Multiplicative identity is 1 because a x 1 = a and 1 x a = a. • The identity matrix of an nxn matrix is an nxn matrix that has 1’s on its main diagonal and 0’s everywhere else. • 2x2 identity matrix:
Identity matrix • 3x3 identity matrix: • So any matrix multiplied by the identity matrix is itself!
Inverse Matrices • Two nxn matrices are inverses if their product (in both orders) is the nxn identity matrix. • For example: • If AB = I and BA = I, then B = A-1
Example • Are and inverses? • Check: AB and BA • AB: = • BA: = • Therefore, they are inverses.
Finding the inverse • The inverse of matrix A = is
Find the inverse of • A = a=3, b=1, c=4, d=2
Find the inverse of • a=4, b=-5, c=-3, d=4
Solving Matrix Equations • Solve AX = B for the following: A X = B • First, find A-1. • Then multiply both sides of the equation by A-1 on the left.
Find the inverse of • a=4, b=-1, c=-3, d=1
Multiply both sides of equation by A-1 on the left. A-1AX = A-1B
Use a calculator to find the inverse of A. Use the calculator to verify the results. Type in matrix values in calculator Then, 2nd matrix, X-1, enter
Verify: • Does • If so, inverse is correct • If not, inverse is not correct
