Step 1

Now, let's denote the inverse of M as M$^{-1}$ = $\begin{pmatrix} P & Q \\ R & S \end{pmatrix}$, where P, Q, R, and S are matrices of appropriate sizes. We know that M * M$^{-1}$ = I, so we can write: $\begin{pmatrix} A & B \\ 0 & I \end{pmatrix}$ * Show more…

Suppose M is a 20 x 20 matrix that can be described as a block matrix M = (A 0; X B), where A and B are invertible matrices and 0 is a matrix of appropriate size with every entry zero. Write a formula for M-1 as a block matrix.
