Inverse Matrix and Invertible Real Square Matrix

A square real matrix B is an inverse of A if AB = BA = I; A is invertible if it has an inverse, which is then unique and written A−1A^{-1}.

Statement

In the setting of Metric Spaces: Balls, the Metric Topology, and the Real and Complex Numbers as Metric Spaces, let n∈Nn\in\mathbb{N} and let A∈Mn(R)A\in\mathcal{M}_{n}(\mathbb{R}) be a square real matrix, with the matrix product and the identity matrix InI_{n}.

A matrix B∈Mn(R)B\in\mathcal{M}_{n}(\mathbb{R}) is an inverse of AA if AB=InAB=I_{n} and BA=InBA=I_{n}.

AA is invertible if it has an inverse. An invertible AA has exactly one inverse: if BB and CC are inverses of AA, then AB=InAB=I_{n} and CA=InCA=I_{n}, so B=CB=C by Uniqueness of the Matrix Inverse (i). This inverse is denoted A−1A^{-1}.
