Thread: Prove that matrix is invertible

Hi.
I need to prove that if then A is invertibale.
so im not sure if thats valid, but i think i can write it like that:


but it still doesn't prove that or , since they're bote can be zero divisors and therefore don't necessarily equal 0.

so im kinda lost here.
is there another way?

TIA!

from A² + 5A + 6I = 0 we have:

6I = -A² - 5A

I = (1/6)(-A - 5I)A

so evidently, A^-1 = (-1/6)(A + 5I)

(not only is A invertible, we actually found the inverse!)
