Hello, it is given that a is a non -singular matrix.
00:08
This means that the determinant of a is not zero and this is equivalent to saying that a is invertible.
00:16
So, in particular, there exists an a inverse.
00:20
So and a matrix a inverse has the property that a times a inverse times is equal to identity and a inverse times a is equal to identity.
00:38
And so we have this.
00:42
Now since a times a inverse is equal to identity, let us take the determinant of both sides of this equation.
00:54
Then determinant of a times determinant of a inverse is equal to determinant of identity matrix.
01:04
Now, determinant of identity matrix is one and determinant of a is non -zero.
01:10
So this times determinant of a inverse is equal to one.
01:16
This implies that determinant of a inverse is not equal to zero because if it is zero, then the left hand side becomes zero and it cannot be equal to one.
01:28
So if a is so, we can conclude that so we can conclude that if a is non -singular, then a inverse is also non -singular.
02:11
Further, we have that a inverse times a is equal to identity and a inverse sorry times a multiplied on the left.
02:27
This is also equal to identity.
02:29
This just is a restatement of the two properties of a inverse itself.
02:35
A inverse is the unique matrix such that a times a inverse is identity and a inverse times a is identity...
