Math Problem Statement
Find A^-1 by forming [A | I] and then using row operations to obtain [I | B], where A^-1 = [B]. Check that AA^-1 = I and A^-1 A = I.
Solution
To solve the given problem, we need to find the inverse of the matrix using row operations. The matrix is:
1 & -1 & -1 \\ 0 & -2 & -1 \\ -2 & -3 & 0 \end{pmatrix}$$ ### Steps to find the inverse of matrix $$A$$: 1. **Form the augmented matrix $$[A | I]$$**: We augment matrix $$A$$ with the identity matrix of the same size (3x3). So the augmented matrix looks like this: \[ [A | I] = \begin{pmatrix} 1 & -1 & -1 & | & 1 & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & -Ask a new question for Free
