domain range A A-1 MATRIX INVERSE
I A Square matrix with 1’s on the diagonal and 0’s elsewhere Is called an IDENTITY MATRIX. For every vector v, I v = v
A square matrix A has an inverse if there is a matrix A-1 such that: AA-1 = I
Only one to one mappings can be inverted: w v v v P Is the projection of onto v v R Is the counterclockwise Rotation of through degrees. w v v R If you know the value of You can find because Rotation is 1 – 1 (invertible)
Only one to one mappings can be inverted: w v Given P v , v v P Is the projection of onto v v R Is the counterclockwise Rotation of through degrees. w v P is NOT invertible P is NOT 1-1. v R If you know the value of You can find because Rotation is 1 – 1 (invertible) v could be any one of many vectors
Now we will develop an algorithm to find the inverse for a matrix that represents an invertible mapping.
