Session Overview • This session continues the study of matrix algebra, specifically focusing on how to find the solution to a system of equations using the inverse and determinants of matrices. In this session we consider the fundamentally important concept of inverse of a square matrix and its main properties in solving systems of linear equations. This session also discusses the application of the Cramer’s rule in solving a system of n linear equations and n unknowns. • Objectives: – – – Understand be able to determine the determinant of 2 X 2 matrix Understand determine the matrix of co-factors of a 3 X 3 matrix Determine the inverse of square matrices Understand the properties of the inverse matrix Understand how the Cramer’s Rule works Apply the Cramer’s rule in solving systems of equations.

Topic One MATRIX INVERSE Slide 5
Inverse: Multiplicative Identity • The multiplicative identity for real numbers is 1. The property is written as: ax 1=1 xa=a • In terms of matrices, we need a matrix that can be multiplied by a matrix (A) and give a product which is the same matrix (A) • This matrix exists and it is called the identity matrix. • It is named I and it comes in different sizes • It is a square matrix with all 1’s on the main diagonal and all other elements are 0 Slide 6
Examples of Identity • The following gives the Identity matrices of a 2 x 2 matrix, a 3 x 3 matrix and a 4 x 4 matrix respectively: Slide 7
• Given the matrix A below multiply AI
The identity Matrix for Multiplication • Let A be a square matrix with n rows and n columns. • Let I be a square matrix with the same dimensions with 1’s on the main diagonal and 0’s elsewhere • Then AI = IA = A
The multiplicative Inverse • For every non-zero real number a, there is a real number 1/a such that a(1/a)=1 • In terms of matrices, the product of a square matrix and its inverse is I
The inverse of a Matrix • Let A be a square matrix with n rows and n columns • In terms of matrices, the product of a square matrix and its inverse is I
The inverse of a Matrix • Let A be a square matrix with n rows and n columns. If there is an n x n matrix B such that AB = I and BA = I , then A and B are inverses of one another. • The inverse of a matrix A is denoted by A-1. • Inverses have the following properties:
Inverse of a Matrix • To show that matrices are inverses of one another, show that the multiplication of the matrices is commutative and the results is the identity matrix. • Example: Show that A and B are inverses of each other.
Finding the Inverse of a Matrix: Method 1 • Use the equation AB = I • Write and Solve the equation
Multiply the two matrices to get the matrix below Use matrix equality to equate corresponding elements Solve by substitution / elimination to obtain the elements of the inverse matrix.
• So the inverse of A is • We can check this my multiplying A x A-1
Properties of Inverses Slide 19
Topic Two DETERMINANTS Slide 20
Determinants • Each matrix can be assigned a real number called the determinant of the matrix. • It is denoted by the symbol • means the determinant of A
• The determinant of a 2 x 2 matrix is found as follows: • Find the determinant of the matrix
• Find the determinant of the matrix • If the determinant of a matrix is 0, the matrix does not have an inverse. • The matrix is then said to be invertible
Method 2: Using determinants to find Inverse of Matrix
• is called the adjoint of the original matrix • It is found by switching the entries on the main diagonal and changing the signs of the entries on the other diagonal.
Properties of Determinants • Determinants have several mathematical properties which are useful in matrix manipulations. – 1 |A|=|A'|. – 2. If a row or column of A = 0, then |A|= 0. – 3. If every value in a row or column is multiplied by k, then |A| = k|A|. – 4. If two rows (or columns) are interchanged the sign, but not value, of |A| changes. – 5. If two rows or columns are identical, |A| = 0. – 6. If two rows or columns are linear combination of each other, |A| = 0 – 7. |A| remains unchanged if each element of a row or each element multiplied by a constant, is added to any other row. – 8. |AB| = |A| |B| – 9. Det of a diagonal matrix = product of the diagonal elements Slide 26
