Question
Using the definition of an inverse, show that matrix inversion obeys

Transcribed Image Text:The image contains two mathematical expressions related to matrix operations, specifically involving transposes and inverses. Here is the transcription and explanation:
1. \((A^{-1})^{\top} = (A^{\top})^{-1}\)
This expression states that the transpose of the inverse of a matrix \(A\) is equal to the inverse of the transpose of the matrix \(A\). This holds true assuming that the inverse of matrix \(A\) exists.
2. \((AB)^{-1} = B^{-1}A^{-1}\)
This expression indicates that the inverse of the product of two matrices \(A\) and \(B\) is equal to the product of the inverses of \(B\) and \(A\), but in reverse order. This is valid assuming the inverses of both matrices \(A\) and \(B\) exist.
