In this lesson, we will learn how to find the inverse of a 2 x 2 matrix. You will learn that if two matrices are inverses of each other, then the product of the two matrices will result in an <a href='[[glossary.html|{"keyword":"Identity matrix"}]]'>identity matrix</a>. Next, you will learn how to find the inverse by using the formula below. You may find that the formula is hard to memorize. There is another way to find a 2 x 2 matrix without memorizing the formula, but it would require matrix row operations. You will see this method in the section "the inverse of 3 x 3 matrices with matrix row operations". Lastly, note that the inverse of a 2 x 2 identity matrix is just the identity matrix itself.
