An inverse matrix, or inverse of a matrix, is a non-singular square matrix that produces the identity matrix when multiplied by or to its corresponding inverse. For a given matrix , the inverse exists if and only if the determinant of is non-zero, . Such a matrix is called a non-singular matrix. The inversion of a matrix is itself invertible, i.e.
The formula for finding the inverse of a 2x2 matrix is as follows:
.
However, this formula does not hold for matrices larger than 2x2.
