Inverse Matrix Operations and Verification

This video tutorial explains how to find the inverse of a 3x3 matrix using elementary row operations. It begins with setting up the problem and forming an augmented matrix. The tutorial then demonstrates step-by-step row operations to transform the matrix into its inverse. Finally, it verifies the result by multiplying the original matrix with its inverse to confirm it yields the identity matrix.

What is the first step in finding the inverse of a 3x3 matrix?

• Multiply the matrix by its transpose

• Set up an augmented matrix with the identity matrix

• Add all the elements of the matrix

• Transpose the matrix

Which operation is used to make the first element of the third row zero?

• Add Row 1 to Row 3

• Subtract Row 3 from Row 1

• Subtract Row 1 from Row 3

• Multiply Row 3 by a scalar

How do you transform a negative number in the second row to zero?

• Add Row 2 to Row 3

• Subtract Row 3 from Row 2

• Multiply Row 2 by a scalar

• Add a multiple of Row 1 to Row 2
