2.5 The Gauss-Jordan Method for Calculating Inverses Finding Inverses • When the matrix is a 2 x 2, the inverse is easy to find using the determinant. • What if the inverse of a larger square matrix needs to be found? • That is when G-J needs to be performed with the original matrix and How this works… • You set up the process to look like: • Then do row manipulations until it looks like: • What is the inverse of an inverse matrix?
