Question
Obtain the Inverse of the following matrix using elementary operations:
$A= \begin{vmatrix} 3 & 0 & -1 \\ 2 & 3 & 0 \\ 0 & 4 & 1 \end{vmatrix}.$

Answer

$\begin{bmatrix} 3 & 0 & -1 \\ 2 & 3 & 0 \\ 0 & 4 & 1 \end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix} 1 & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & 1 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & 1 \end{bmatrix}\text{A}$
$\text{R}_{1}\rightarrow\text{R}_{1}-\text{R}_{2}:\begin{bmatrix} 1 & -3 & -1 \\ 2 & 3 & 0 \\ 0 & 4 & 1 \end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix} 1 & -1 & 0 \\ 0 & 1 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & 1 \end{bmatrix}\text{A}$
$\text{R}_{2}\rightarrow\text{R}_{2}-\text{2R}_{1}:\begin{bmatrix} 1 & -3 & -1 \\ 0 & 9 & 2 \\ 0 & 4 & 1 \end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix} 1 & -1 & 0 \\ -2 & 3 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & 1 \end{bmatrix}\text{A}$
$\text{R}_{1}\rightarrow\text{R}_{1}-\text{R}_{3}:\begin{bmatrix} 1 & 1 & 0 \\ 0 & 9 & 2 \\ 0 & 4 & 1 \end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix} 1 & -1 & 1 \\ -2 & 3 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & 1 \end{bmatrix}\text{A}$
$\text{R}_{2}\rightarrow\text{R}_{2}-\text{2R}_{3}:\begin{bmatrix} 1 & 1 & 0 \\ 0 & 1 & 0 \\ 0 & 4 & 1 \end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix} 1 & -1 & 1 \\ -2 & 3 & -2 \\ 0 & 0 & 1 \end{bmatrix}\text{A}$
$\text{R}_{1}\rightarrow\text{R}_{1}-\text{R}_{2}:\begin{bmatrix} 1 & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & 1 & 0 \\ 0 & 4 & 1 \end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix} 3 & -4 & 3 \\ -2 & 3 & -2 \\ 0 & 0 & 1 \end{bmatrix}\text{A}$
$\text{R}_{3}\rightarrow\text{R}_{3}-\text{4R}_{2}:\begin{bmatrix} 1 & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & 1 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & 1 \end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix} 3 & -4 & 3 \\ -2 & 3 & -2 \\ 8 & -12 & 9 \end{bmatrix}\text{A}$
$\therefore\text{A}^{-1}=\begin{bmatrix} 3 & -4 & 3 \\ -2 & 3 & -2 \\ 8 & -12 & 9 \end{bmatrix}.$
