Proposition
Elementary row operation of type I , II and III on A correspond to
pre-multiplying A by an elementary matrix of type I , II and III ,
respectively.
Definition
Let A be an n × n matrix. If there is an n × n matrix B such that
AB = In = BA then we say A is invertible and B is the inverse of A. The
inverse of A is denoted by A−1 .
Proposition
For any invertible square matrix A, (At )−1 = (A−1 )t .
