Find x, y, z if satisfies A’ = A–1

Given,



We need to find x, y and z such that A’ = A-1


If A’ = A-1


Pre-multiplying A on both sides:


AA’ = AA-1


AA’ = I where I is the identity matrix.




By matrix multiplication we have:



On equating the corresponding elements of matrix.


We need basically 3 equations as we have 3 variables to solve for. You can pick any three elements and equate them.


We have:


4y2 + z2 = 1 …(1)


x2 + y2 + z2 = 1 …(2)


2y2 – z2 = 0 …(3)


Adding equation 2 and 3:


6y2 = 1


y2 = 1/6



From equation 3:


Z2 = 2y2


z2 = 2(1/6)


z2 = 1/3



From equation 2:


x2 = 1 – y2 – z2


x2 = 1 – (1/6) – (1/3)


x2 = 1 – 1/2 = 1/2



Thus,


; and
