Question
Find the inverse of the following matrices by using elementry row transformation:

$\begin{bmatrix} 0 & 1 & 2 \\ 1 & 2 & 3 \\ 3 & 1 & 1 \end{bmatrix}$

Answer

$\text{A}=\begin{bmatrix} 0 & 1 & 2 \\ 1 & 2 & 3 \\ 3 & 1 & 1 \end{bmatrix}$

We know A = IA

$\Rightarrow\begin{bmatrix} 0 & 1 & 2 \\ 1 & 2 & 3 \\ 3 & 1 & 1 \end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix} 1 & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & 1 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & 1 \end{bmatrix}\text{A}$

$\Rightarrow\begin{bmatrix} 0 & 1 & 2 \\ -2 & 1 & 2 \\ 3 & 1 & 1 \end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix} 1 & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & 1 & -1 \\ 0 & 0 & 1 \end{bmatrix}\text{A}$

[Applying R2 → R2 - R3]

$\Rightarrow\begin{bmatrix} -3 & 0 & 1 \\ -2 & 1 & 2 \\ 3 & 1 & 1 \end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix} 1 & 0 & -1 \\ 0 & 1 & -1 \\ 0 & 0 & 1 \end{bmatrix}\text{A}$

[Applying R1 → R1 - R3]

$\Rightarrow\begin{bmatrix} -3 & 0 & 1 \\ -2 & 1 & 2 \\ 0 & 1 & 2 \end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix} 1 & 0 & -1\\ 0 & 1 & -1 \\ 1 & 0 & 0 \end{bmatrix}\text{A}$

[Applying R3 → R3 + R1]

$\Rightarrow\begin{bmatrix} -3 & 0 & 1 \\ 0 & 3 & 4 \\ 0 & 1 & 2 \end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix} 1 & 0 &-1 \\ -2 & 3 & -1 \\ 1 & 0 & 0 \end{bmatrix}\text{A}$

[Applying R2 → 3R2 - 2R1]

$\Rightarrow\begin{bmatrix} -3 & 0 & 1 \\ 0 & 3 & 4 \\ 0 & -2 & -2 \end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix} 1 & 0 & -1 \\ -2 & 3 & -1 \\ 3 & -3 & 1 \end{bmatrix}\text{A}$

[Applying R3 → R3 - R2]

$\Rightarrow\begin{bmatrix} -3 & 0 & 1 \\ 0 & 3 & 4 \\ 0 & 1 & 1 \end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix} 1 & 0 & -1 \\ -2 & 3 & -1 \\ \frac{-3}{2} & \frac{3}{2} & \frac{-1}{2} \end{bmatrix}\text{A}$

$\Big[\text{Applying R}_3+\text{R}_3-\frac{1}{2}\text{R}_3\Big]$

$\Rightarrow\begin{bmatrix} -3 & 0 & 1 \\ 0 & -1 & 0 \\ 0 & 1 & 1 \end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix} 1 & 0 & -1 \\ 4 & -3 & 1 \\ \frac{-3}{2} & \frac{3}{2} & \frac{-1}{2} \end{bmatrix}\text{A}$

[Appying R2 → R2 - 4R3]

$\Rightarrow\begin{bmatrix} -3 & 0 & 1 \\ 0 & -1 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & 1 \end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix} 1 & 0 & -1 \\ 4 & -3 & 1 \\ \frac{5}{2} & \frac{-3}{2} & \frac{1}{2} \end{bmatrix}\text{A}$

[Applying R3 → R3 + R2]

$\Rightarrow\begin{bmatrix} -3 & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & -1 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & 1 \end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix} \frac{3}{2} & \frac{-3}{2} & \frac{3}{2} \\ 4 & -3 & 1 \\ \frac{5}{2} & \frac{-3}{2} & \frac{1}{2} \end{bmatrix}\text{A}$

[Applying R1 → R1 - R3]

$\Rightarrow\begin{bmatrix} 1 & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & -1 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & 1 \end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix} \frac{1}{2} & \frac{-1}{2} & \frac{1}{2} \\ 4 & -3 & 1 \\ \frac{5}{2} & \frac{-3}{2} & \frac{1}{2} \end{bmatrix}\text{A}$

$\Big[\text{Applying R}_1\rightarrow\frac{-1}{3}\text{ R}_1\Big]$

$\Rightarrow\begin{bmatrix} 1 & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & -1 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & 1 \end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix} \frac{1}{2} & \frac{-1}{2} & \frac{1}{2} \\ -4 & -3 & -1 \\ \frac{5}{2} & \frac{-3}{2} & \frac{1}{2} \end{bmatrix}\text{A}$
