Question
Obtain the inverse of the following matrix using elementary operations: $\text{A}=\begin{bmatrix}-1 & 1 & 2\\1 & 2 & 3\\3 & 1 & 1 \end{bmatrix}$

Answer

$\therefore\text{A}^{-1}=\text{IA}$
$\text{A}^{-1}=\begin{bmatrix}1 & 0 & 0\\0 & 1 & 0\\0 & 0 & 1 \end{bmatrix}\begin{bmatrix}-1 & 1 & 2\\1 & 2 & 3\\3 & 1 & 1 \end{bmatrix}$
$\text{R}_1\rightarrow-\text{R}_1$
$\text{A}^{-1}=\begin{bmatrix}-1 & 0 & 0\\0 & 1 & 0\\0 & 0 & 1 \end{bmatrix}\begin{bmatrix}1 & -1 & -2\\1 & 2 & 3\\3 & 1 & 1 \end{bmatrix}$
$\text{R}_2\rightarrow\text{R}_2-\text{R}_1$
$\text{R}_3\rightarrow\text{R}_3-3\text{R}_1$
$\text{A}^{-1}=\begin{bmatrix}-1 & 0 & 0\\1 & 1 & 0\\3 & 0 & 1 \end{bmatrix}\begin{bmatrix}1 & -1 & -2\\0 & 3 & 5\\0 & 4 & 7 \end{bmatrix}$
$\text{R}_2\rightarrow-\text{R}_2+\text{R}_3$
$\text{A}^{-1}=\begin{bmatrix}-1 & 0 & 0\\2 & -1 & 1\\3 & 0 & 1 \end{bmatrix}\begin{bmatrix}1 & -1 & -2\\0 & 1 & 2\\0 & 4 & 7 \end{bmatrix}$
$\text{R}_1\rightarrow\text{R}_1+\text{R}_2$
$\text{R}_3\rightarrow\text{R}_3-4\text{R}_2$
$\text{A}^{-1}=\begin{bmatrix}1 & 0 & 0\\0 & 1 & 2\\0 & 0 & -1 \end{bmatrix}\begin{bmatrix}1 & -1 & 1\\2 & -1 & 1\\-5 & 4 & -3 \end{bmatrix}$
$\text{R}_3\rightarrow-\text{R}_3$
$\text{A}^{-1}=\begin{bmatrix}1 & -1 & 1\\2 & -1 & 1\\5 & -4 & 3 \end{bmatrix}\begin{bmatrix}1 & 0 & 0\\0 & 1 & 2\\0 & 0 & 1 \end{bmatrix}$
$\text{R}_2\rightarrow\text{R}_2-2\text{R}_3$
$\text{A}^{-1}=\begin{bmatrix}1 & -1 & 1\\-8 & 7 & -5\\5 & -4 & 3 \end{bmatrix}\begin{bmatrix}1 & 0 & 0\\0 & 1 & 0\\0 & 0 & 1 \end{bmatrix}$
Here $\text{I}=\begin{bmatrix}1 & -1 & 1\\-8 & 7 & -5\\5 & -4 & 3 \end{bmatrix}$
So, $\text{A}^{-1}==\begin{bmatrix}1 & -1 & 1\\-8 & 7 & -5\\5 & -4 & 3 \end{bmatrix}$
