How to prove that only square matrix can have inverse matrix


In fact, it should be: only square matrix can have inverse matrix
Because the definition of inverse matrix requires AB = Ba = I
If the identity matrix I is a square matrix, then according to the requirements of matrix multiplication, a and B can only be a square matrix
In fact, for non square matrix, we can define generalized inverse matrix



Find the inverse of the following matrix

2 2 1
3 4 3

Judge whether the following matrix is the inverse matrix, if so, request the inverse matrix
1.[cosθ sinθ;-sinθ cosθ]
2.[cosθ sinθ;sinθ -cosθ]


cosθ sinθ
-sinθ cosθ
Are you like this?
First of all, he has an inverse matrix to judge whether his determinant is 0 or not
That is, (COS θ) ^ 2 + (sin θ) ^ 2 = 1 is not zero, so there is an inverse matrix
Second, the inverse matrix of the second-order matrix is the rule that the main diagonals are exchanged and the sub diagonals are negative
So the inverse matrix is
cosθ -sinθ
sinθ cosθ
The second is the same
