Finding the Multiplicative Inverse of a Matrix
Step 1: Form an augmented matrix that looks like

Step 2: Perform row operations to get the matrix in the form if possible.

Step 3: Matrix is

D: Using Matrix Inverses to Solve Systems of Equations

(Lessons 2.5 pg 111-115)


Any system of equations can be written as
where the square coefficient matrix

the column matrix of the variables



the matrix of constants

Example:
