If the product of two matrices is an identity matrix then, one matrix is inverse of the other. i.e. AB = I then, A = B-1 and B = A-1
Inverse of matrix can be found by using these two results:
A = AI and A = IA.
By using these results inverse of a matrix can be found by applying same elementary row or column operation on both sides. A on R.H.S. remains as it is.

Identity or Unit Matrix If in the scaler matrix the value of k=1, the matrix is called the identity or unit matrix. It is denoted by I or U.
No. A scalar matrix is a diagonal matrix whose main diagonal elements are the same. Only if the diagonal elements are all 1 is it an identity matrix.
Multiply it by the identity matrix.
From Wolfram MathWorld: The inverse of a square matrix A, sometimes called a reciprocal matrix, is a matrix A-1 such that AA-1=I where I is the identity matrix.
It may refer to the identity matrix.
