PX153 - K7 - matrix inverse
some definitions
- minor: is determinant of matrix where the row and column of are removed
- co-factor:
- this formula suggests that the row is special
- the rows and columns can be exchanged
- (co-factor rule)
- (*false co-factor rule)
- co-factor rule for
- switching row 1 and row 2 is equivalent to expanding from the
- false co-factor rule:
- using false co-factor rule:
- using
- in general, if two rows are the same
the adjugate matrix
- if , the adjugate (AKA adjoint) of , , where are co-factors of matrix
the inverse
- is inversible if and only if
-
the inverse method is not quick because the determinant and co-factors need to be calculated
-
can be used to infer
-
eg: find , then , for
- eg:
