Review

An Algorithm for Computing Matrix Inverse.

We give a formula for computing the inverse 2X2 matrices.

 

eg4

Note : There are several algorithms for computing the inverse of a matrix if it exist. These algorithms involve a great deal of calculation,

so computing matrix inverses is usually done by computer (especially for large matrices).
