The problem asks to find the inverse of the given matrix \( A \):

\[
A = \begin{bmatrix} 
1 & 0 & 0 & 0 \\ 
-1 & 1 & 0 & 0 \\ 
3 & 1 & 1 & 0 \\ 
9 & -9 & -5 & 1 
\end{bmatrix}
\]

The matrix is a \( 4 \times 4 \) matrix, and finding its inverse requires us to apply one of several methods: Gaussian elimination, using determinants and cofactors, or applying software tools.

To find the inverse of this matrix \( A \), I will perform row reduction or use numerical tools to compute \( A^{-1} \).

Let me calculate that for you.The inverse of the matrix \( A \) is:

\[
A^{-1} = \begin{bmatrix}
1 & 0 & 0 & 0 \\
1 & 1 & 0 & 0 \\
-4 & -1 & 1 & 0 \\
-20 & 4 & 5 & 1
\end{bmatrix}
\]

Let me know if you'd like a detailed explanation of how this inverse was calculated or have any further questions!

Here are some related questions to explore:

1. How is the inverse of a matrix useful in solving systems of linear equations?
2. What are the conditions under which a matrix does not have an inverse?
3. Can you describe the process of Gaussian elimination to find matrix inverses?
4. How does row reduction relate to finding a matrix inverse?
5. What is the determinant of the original matrix \( A \), and how does it influence the existence of the inverse?

**Tip:** A matrix has an inverse only if its determinant is non-zero.

If A = [[1, 0, 0, 0], [-1, 1, 0, 0], [3, 1, 1, 0], [9, -9, -5, 1]], find A^{-1}.
