how to find the inverse matrix?

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

is it possible to use \[\LARGE \left[\begin{array}{ccc} 1 & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & 1 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & 1 \end{array} \right]\]

OpenStudy (helder_edwin):

when you a square matrix A (with det(a) nor zero) then you reduce the matrix \[ (A\mid I) \] where I is the identity matrix of the same size as A

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

uhh what does that mean?

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

okay perhaps a demo...what is the inverse for \[\huge \left[\begin{array}{ccc} 1 & 2 & 0 \\ 3 & 0 & 2 \\ 1 & 1 & 0 \end{array} \right]\]

OpenStudy (helder_edwin):

OK to find the inverse of the matrix you put, you construct the matrix \[ \LARGE \left[\begin{array}{ccc|ccc} 1 & 2 & 0 & 1 & 0 & 0\\ 3 & 0 & 2 & 0 & 1 & 0\\ 1 & 1 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 1 \end{array}\right] \] and find the RREF form.

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

okay two questions: 1) how do you do that line in the middle? 2) do we make the left side become 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 ??

OpenStudy (helder_edwin):

for 1) do you want the latex code?

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

yup

OpenStudy (helder_edwin):

\left[\begin{array}{ccc|ccc} \end{array}\right]

OpenStudy (helder_edwin):

"\begin{array}{ccc|ccc} \end{array}"

OpenStudy (helder_edwin):

\verb"\begin{array}{ccc|ccc} \end{array}"

OpenStudy (helder_edwin):

begin{array}{ccc|ccc} end{array}

OpenStudy (helder_edwin):

finally

OpenStudy (helder_edwin):

for 2) yes. when and if you get I on the left side, if the matrix has inverse the it should appear on the right side

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

ohhh {ccc|ccc}

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

how can i make the second row 0 again?

OpenStudy (helder_edwin):

i dont' understand

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

i have to make 3 become 0 right? so do i do -3R1 + r2?

OpenStudy (helder_edwin):

yes \[ (-3)R_1+R_2\to R_2 \]

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

hmm ok i think im imagining it now thanks

OpenStudy (helder_edwin):

ok you're welcome
