‘Two matrices are said to be equal if they have the same order and each element of one is equal to the
corresponding element of the other.

Inverse of a Matrix
‘A non-singular square matrix of order is i
such that AB = In= BA,
In such a case, we say that the inverse of A is B and we write, A-! = B
IAs invertible, then the inverse of Ais given by A= adi A,
invertible if there exists a square matix B of the same order

Properties of Inverse of a Matrix
() Every invertible matrix possesses a unique inverse.
(i) (Reversal Law) if and B are invertible matrices of the same order, then AB is invertible and
(ABy* = B1A",
In general, if A, B, C, .... are invertible matrices then (ABC. 9 CIB IA,
(il) IFAis an invertiole square matrix, then AT is also invertible and (AT)! = (A).
(iv) If Ais anon-singular square matrix of order n, then jadjA| = |A[>"
(¥) If Aand B are non-singular square matrices of the same order, then
adj (AB) = (adj B) (ad A.
(vi) IfAis an invertible square matrix, then adj(A") = (adj A)!
(vil) IfAis a non-singular square matrix, then adj(adjA) = JAI" A.
