The inverse of a matrix is used for many different statistics. While you can add, subtract, or multiply matrices, you cannot divide them. However, if you multiple by the inverse of a matrix, this is equivalent to dividing. For example, if you divide 6 by 3 you get 2; however, you could also multiply 6 by the inverse of 3, 1/3, and get the same answer.

What is the matrix that if you multiplied by the original matrix you would get the identity matrix?

The matrix that, when multiplied by the original matrix, yields the identity matrix is known as the inverse matrix. For a given square matrix ( A ), its inverse is denoted as ( A^{-1} ). The relationship is expressed as ( A \times A^{-1} = I ), where ( I ) is the identity matrix. Not all matrices have inverses; a matrix must be square and have a non-zero determinant to possess an inverse.

How do you inverse matrix using fx-991ms calculator?

To find the inverse of a matrix using the Casio fx-991MS calculator, first, enter the matrix mode by pressing the "MODE" button until you reach the matrix option. Then, input the dimensions of the matrix (e.g., 2 for a 2x2 matrix). After entering the matrix elements, press the "SHIFT" button followed by the "MATRIX" key (which is also labeled with an inverse symbol). Finally, select the matrix you want to invert, and the calculator will display the inverse matrix.
