Find the Inverse [[1,-1,2],[0,1,-3],[2,-3,6]]

$[\begin{array}{c} 1 & - 1 & 2 \\ 0 & 1 & - 3 \\ 2 & - 3 & 6 \end{array}]$

Step 1

Set up a $3 \times 6$ matrix where the left half is the original matrix and the right half is its identity matrix.

$[\begin{array}{c} 1 & - 1 & 2 & 1 & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & 1 & - 3 & 0 & 1 & 0 \\ 2 & - 3 & 6 & 0 & 0 & 1 \end{array}]$

Step 2

Find the reduced row echelon form.

Perform the row operation $R_{3} = R_{3} - 2 R_{1}$ to make the entry at $3, 1$ a $0$ .

$[\begin{array}{c} 1 & - 1 & 2 & 1 & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & 1 & - 3 & 0 & 1 & 0 \\ 2 - 2 \cdot 1 & - 3 - 2 \cdot - 1 & 6 - 2 \cdot 2 & 0 - 2 \cdot 1 & 0 - 2 \cdot 0 & 1 - 2 \cdot 0 \end{array}]$

Simplify $R_{3}$ .

$[\begin{array}{c} 1 & - 1 & 2 & 1 & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & 1 & - 3 & 0 & 1 & 0 \\ 0 & - 1 & 2 & - 2 & 0 & 1 \end{array}]$

Perform the row operation $R_{3} = R_{3} + R_{2}$ to make the entry at $3, 2$ a $0$ .

$[\begin{array}{c} 1 & - 1 & 2 & 1 & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & 1 & - 3 & 0 & 1 & 0 \\ 0 + 0 & - 1 + 1 \cdot 1 & 2 - 3 & - 2 + 0 & 0 + 1 \cdot 1 & 1 + 0 \end{array}]$

$[\begin{array}{c} 1 & - 1 & 2 & 1 & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & 1 & - 3 & 0 & 1 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & - 1 & - 2 & 1 & 1 \end{array}]$

Multiply each element of $R_{3}$ by $- 1$ to make the entry at $3, 3$ a $1$ .

$[\begin{array}{c} 1 & - 1 & 2 & 1 & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & 1 & - 3 & 0 & 1 & 0 \\ - 0 & - 0 & - - 1 & - - 2 & - 1 \cdot 1 & - 1 \cdot 1 \end{array}]$

Simplify $R_{3}$ .

$[\begin{array}{c} 1 & - 1 & 2 & 1 & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & 1 & - 3 & 0 & 1 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & 1 & 2 & - 1 & - 1 \end{array}]$

Perform the row operation $R_{2} = R_{2} + 3 R_{3}$ to make the entry at $2, 3$ a $0$ .

$[\begin{array}{c} 1 & - 1 & 2 & 1 & 0 & 0 \\ 0 + 3 \cdot 0 & 1 + 3 \cdot 0 & - 3 + 3 \cdot 1 & 0 + 3 \cdot 2 & 1 + 3 \cdot - 1 & 0 + 3 \cdot - 1 \\ 0 & 0 & 1 & 2 & - 1 & - 1 \end{array}]$

Simplify $R_{2}$ .

$[\begin{array}{c} 1 & - 1 & 2 & 1 & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & 1 & 0 & 6 & - 2 & - 3 \\ 0 & 0 & 1 & 2 & - 1 & - 1 \end{array}]$

Perform the row operation $R_{1} = R_{1} - 2 R_{3}$ to make the entry at $1, 3$ a $0$ .

$[\begin{array}{c} 1 - 2 \cdot 0 & - 1 - 2 \cdot 0 & 2 - 2 \cdot 1 & 1 - 2 \cdot 2 & 0 - 2 \cdot - 1 & 0 - 2 \cdot - 1 \\ 0 & 1 & 0 & 6 & - 2 & - 3 \\ 0 & 0 & 1 & 2 & - 1 & - 1 \end{array}]$

Simplify $R_{1}$ .

$[\begin{array}{c} 1 & - 1 & 0 & - 3 & 2 & 2 \\ 0 & 1 & 0 & 6 & - 2 & - 3 \\ 0 & 0 & 1 & 2 & - 1 & - 1 \end{array}]$

Perform the row operation $R_{1} = R_{1} + R_{2}$ to make the entry at $1, 2$ a $0$ .

$[\begin{array}{c} 1 + 0 & - 1 + 1 \cdot 1 & 0 + 0 & - 3 + 1 \cdot 6 & 2 - 2 & 2 - 3 \\ 0 & 1 & 0 & 6 & - 2 & - 3 \\ 0 & 0 & 1 & 2 & - 1 & - 1 \end{array}]$

Simplify $R_{1}$ .

$[\begin{array}{c} 1 & 0 & 0 & 3 & 0 & - 1 \\ 0 & 1 & 0 & 6 & - 2 & - 3 \\ 0 & 0 & 1 & 2 & - 1 & - 1 \end{array}]$

Step 3

The right half of the reduced row echelon form is the inverse.

$[\begin{array}{c} 3 & 0 & - 1 \\ 6 & - 2 & - 3 \\ 2 & - 1 & - 1 \end{array}]$
