The identity matrix
The identity matrix has the property that A

I = I

A = A. To verify this property

we present the following examples using the matrices stored earlier on. Use
function IDN (find it in the MTH/MATRIX/MAKE menu) to generate the
identity matrix as shown here:


The inverse matrix
The inverse of a square matrix A is the matrix A

-1

such that A

A

-1

= A

-1

A = I,

where I is the identity matrix of the same dimensions as A. The inverse of a
matrix is obtained in the calculator by using the inverse function, INV (i.e., the
Y key). Examples of the inverse of some of the matrices stored earlier are
presented next:


To verify the properties of the inverse matrix, we present the following
multiplications:
