We first give a consequence of Theorem 2.5.8 and then use it to find the inverse of an invertible matrix.
Summary: Let be an matrix. Apply the Gauss-Jordan method to the matrix Suppose the row reduced echelon form of the matrix is If then or else is not invertible.
Solution: Consider the matrix A sequence of steps in the Gauss-Jordan method are:
