Matrix Inverse:
Steps to Find the Inverse of a Matrix:
- Ensure the matrix is square (same number of rows and columns) and has a non-zero determinant.
- Compute the matrix of minors for the original matrix.
- Find the cofactor matrix by applying a checkerboard pattern of signs to the matrix of minors.
- Calculate the adjugate matrix by taking the transpose of the cofactor matrix.
- Multiply the adjugate matrix by the reciprocal of the determinant of the original matrix to get the inverse.
