Finding the Inverse of a Matrix
Description
Here is a Sage cell that calculates the inverse of matrix $\it{A}$, where
(1)\begin{align} \it{A} = \begin{pmatrix} 1 & 2 \\ 3 & 4 \end{pmatrix} \end{align}
Sage Cell
Code
A = matrix(2, 2, [1, 2, 3, 4])
B = A.inverse()
B
Options
We can test if a matrix is invertible without actually inverting it with the .is_invertible() method:
Code
A = matrix(QQ, [[1, 2], [3, 4]])
print(A.is_invertible())
B = matrix(QQ, [[1, 2], [2, 4]])
print(B.is_invertible())
