Existence of an inverse matrix

To determine the inverse matrix of a square matrix A of order n, it is enough to find a matrix B such that the multiplication between them results in an identity matrix of order n.
A*B = B*A = Ino
We say that B is the inverse of A and is represented by A-1.
Remember that the identity matrix of order n (In) is a matrix where the elements of its main diagonal are equal to 1 and the other elements are equal to 0. For example:

Example 1
Given matrices A and B, check if one is the inverse of the other.

Multiply the matrices and verify that the result consists of an identity matrix.

We can verify that A-1 it is the inverse of A, since the multiplication between them resulted in an identity matrix.
Example 2
Let's determine if the inverse matrix of A exists.

To determine the inverse of a matrix, simply multiply the matrix given by a generic matrix of terms a11, b12, c21, d22, given the equality of an identity matrix. Watch:
Solving systems:

So, we have that the inverse matrix is:
