The inverse of a 2x2 matrix is given by:
A-1 = (1/det(A)) *
[d -b]
[-c a]
Where det(A) is the determinant of A, which is ad - bc. This formula works for any invertible 2x2 matrix.
3. A matrix is an ordered rectangular array of
numbers. The size of a matrix is given by the
number of rows and the number of columns.
Let m denote the number of rows
Let n denote the number of columns.
Let aij denote the entry in the ith row and the
jth column.

51. Assume Ak-1 = A
Ak = Ak-1 A =A A=A
So Ak = A for any positive integer k
i.e. A is idempotent
52. Definition: Let A be an n n matrix. An inverse of A
is an n n matrix B such that:
AB = In and BA = In
A is then called invertible.
B is called an inverse of A
If A has no inverse, it is called singular.
.
53. The inverse (if exists) is unique.
Proof:
Assume A is invertible, with two inverses B and C, i.e.
AB=BA=I
and
AC = CA = I,
(BA)C=B(AC)=BI=B
(BA)C=IC=C
Thus, B=C
54. Since the inverse ,if it exists, is unique, we
call it A-1
A A-1 = A-1 A = In
55. Let A and B be invertible matrices of the same size,
and k be a nonzero scalar. Then:
