Singular & Non Singular Matrices: A square matrix A is said to be “Singular” if the
determinant of │A│= 0, Otherwise A is said to be “Non-singular”.
Note: 1. Only non-singular matrices possess inverse.
2. The product of non-singular matrices is also non-singular.
Inverse of a Matrix: Let A be a non-singular matrix of order n if there exist a matrix B
such that AB=BA=I then B is called the inverse of A and is denoted by A-1.
If inverse of a matrix exist, it is said to be invertible.
Note: 1. The necessary and sufficient condition for a square matrix to posses inverse is that
| |≠ .
2 .Every Invertible matrix has unique inverse.
3. If A, B are two invertible square matrices then AB is also invertible and

Theorem: The inverse of a Matrix if exists is Unique.
Note: 1. (A-1)-1 = A 2. I-1 = I
Theorem: If A, B are invertible matrices of the same order, then
(i). (AB)-1 = B-1A-1
(ii). (A1)-1 = (A-1)1
Sub Matrix: - A matrix obtained by deleting some of the rows or columns or both from the
given matrix is called a sub matrix of the given matrix.
