Therefore, in applying the above procedure for inverting a matrix, if the matrix is a singular one, then at least of the systems of equations has no solution. For example, the following matrix is a singular one: A matrix is called singular if it does not have an inverse. Notice: A matrix possessing an inverse is called nonsingular, or invertible.The solutions, following the above instruction, of the first and second systems of equations provide the first and the second column of the A -1 matrix. Notice that the coefficient of the variables X1 and X2 are matrix A in both systems of equations, however the RHS are two identity vectors in n=2 dimensional space. In general, to find the A -1, column by column, solve n systems of equations having the coefficient matrix A, however with n distinct identity vectors as their RHS value.įor this numerical example, we have to solve the following two systems of equations: Numerical Example 2: Suppose we wish to find the inverse (A -1) of the following matrix (if it exists) A: The following numerical example illustrates the process: Finding the Matrix Inverse Using System of Equations Solver: To find the inverse of a square matrix of size n, solve n systems of equations with a unit vector as their right hand side.The output is the solution: X1 = 1, X2 = 2, and X3 = 3, which can be verified by substitutions. Solve this equivalent system of equation by entering its coefficient and the RHS values in the Data Entry Table, then click on the "Calculate" button.

That is, considering an equivalent system of equation: Therefore, we have to rearrange the system of equation in such a way that any equation with zero X1 coefficient appear among the last set of equations. The first entry of the first column is zero, while there is always at least one non-zero element therein. The matrix of the coefficient of the variables is: Numerical Example 1: Consider the following system of equations: That is, any equation with zero coefficients for X1 must appear at the end of Data Entry Table. Therefore, first enter the coefficient of all equations having non-zero X1 coefficient then enter all other equations. The requirement for GJ operations is that the first element in the coefficients-matrix must be non-zero.
