Chapter 2: Q10SE (page 93)

Suppose A is invertible. Explain why \({A^T}A\) is also invertible. Then show that \({A^{ - {\bf{1}}}} = {\left( {{A^T}A} \right)^{ - {\bf{1}}}}{A^T}\).

Short Answer

Expert verified

Note that the product of invertible matrices is invertible. That is why \({A^T}A\) is also invertible. Hence, \({A^{ - 1}} = {\left( {{A^T}A} \right)^{ - 1}}{A^T}\) is proved.

Step by step solution

01

Write the given data

Given, A is invertible.

02

Use the inverse matrix theorem

Thus, \({A^T}\) is also invertible as per statements (a) and (l) in the inverse matrix theorem. Note that the product of invertible matrices is invertible. That is why \({A^T}A\) is also invertible.

03

Use the inverse property

\(\begin{aligned}{c}{\left( {{A^T}A} \right)^{ - 1}}{A^T} = {A^{ - 1}}{\left( {{A^T}} \right)^{ - 1}}{A^T}\\ = {A^{ - 1}}I\\{\left( {{A^T}A} \right)^{ - 1}}{A^T} = {A^{ - 1}}\end{aligned}\)

Show that if ABis invertible, so is B.

In the rest of this exercise set and in those to follow, you should assume that each matrix expression is defined. That is, the sizes of the matrices (and vectors) involved match appropriately.

Compute \(A - {\bf{5}}{I_{\bf{3}}}\) and \(\left( {{\bf{5}}{I_{\bf{3}}}} \right)A\)

\(A = \left( {\begin{aligned}{*{20}{c}}{\bf{9}}&{ - {\bf{1}}}&{\bf{3}}\\{ - {\bf{8}}}&{\bf{7}}&{ - {\bf{6}}}\\{ - {\bf{4}}}&{\bf{1}}&{\bf{8}}\end{aligned}} \right)\)

Suppose the second column of Bis all zeros. What can you

say about the second column of AB?

In Exercises 1–9, assume that the matrices are partitioned conformably for block multiplication. Compute the products shown in Exercises 1–4.

3. \[\left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{\bf{0}}&I\\I&{\bf{0}}\end{array}} \right]\left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}W&X\\Y&Z\end{array}} \right]\]

Suppose block matrix \(A\) on the left side of (7) is invertible and \({A_{{\bf{11}}}}\) is invertible. Show that the Schur component \(S\) of \({A_{{\bf{11}}}}\) is invertible. [Hint: The outside factors on the right side of (7) are always invertible. Verify this.] When \(A\) and \({A_{{\bf{11}}}}\) are invertible, (7) leads to a formula for \({A^{ - {\bf{1}}}}\), using \({S^{ - {\bf{1}}}}\) \(A_{{\bf{11}}}^{ - {\bf{1}}}\), and the other entries in \(A\).
